What in hades did I just finish reading???

Those are just a few words that I would use to describe this wonderful book. Where has Laini Taylor been all my life? She is such a wonderful author. I've never read another author who could have spun a tale as brilliant as this one. I can't wait to get my hands on the 2nd one.
