“Like nightmares, dreams were insidious things, and didn't like being locked away.”
Laini Taylor never disappoints. I think very few authors can weave a story like she can - it's just the perfect blend of beautiful storytelling and complex characters. Lazlo is a boy with a rough beginning - but he's always remembered a land - even from childhood it's been his dream to be a knight there. Fight the fight, save the world. But he lost the word, lost their name, and spent years looking for it again. ...more

Second time through: I liked this a lot better than the first time I read it. It still had a bit of a slow start, but not too bad. And I wasn't bothered by the ending, either. I'm not sure what I disliked about it so much the first time. Not quite a five star read, but close.

I really liked this original fantasy novel. The characters were great, the story was interesting and the descriptions were beautiful. I like how there were shades of gray in the history of some of the major characters. I look forward to continuing the story in the second book, but I was a bit disappointed that this one was such a cliffhanger.
A-freaking-mazing! I can't get enough of Taylor's writing. I wanted to both devour this book in an instant and also savour it. There is something about her writing that is just lush and evocative.

Slow moving story. Glad that I stuck through it because by the end it really ramped up and was enjoyable.
