This was a gasp,laugh and cry out loud book! Okay, it is a little like 'Fallen',or 'My name is Memory', but its less biblical and more mythical.

I liked the cliff hangers that each chapter had, or almost each chapter. I will be reading the second book.


E out!

Hopefully a better review to come, but this book was amazing. I honestly wasn't expecting that plot twist and I absolutely loved it (non-spoiler). It was kinda hard to get used to cause I honestly grew to love Madrigal more than Karou. And then there's Akiva. Dear, dear Akiva. With Madrigal, I loved him. He was witty, attractive, looming and just had a great vibe I guess. With Karou, I mean I understand that after Madrigal he'd gone dead inside, but I hope that changes. But who knows if he'll ge ...more
