I liked this well enough, but it is drawn out and not a lot happens. I really loved the background world though, so I didn't mind that so much in this case. Apparently it's what I was in the mood for. That said it lacked oomph overall even if I loved the world and the characters.

I will be honest and admit I only bought this book because it was by a local author and I expected it to follow the typical themes of the average fantasy novel but I felt there was a lot of originality in this novel and the author writes very well and certainly takes her time to carefully construct her world and build her characters.

A wonderful fantasy with lively characters, vivid imagery, and a good storyline. Starts a little slow but then it takes off. I was quite enchanted with Shaeli and her tale, so much so, that as soon as I finished I immediately bought the next two in the series. I look forward to any more tales from R. L. Aiken!

Well developed plot, characters that you'll for in love with.
