At this point, all I can come up with are obscenities!!!

I'm not even sure I've ever been this angry at a book before; and yet...I couldn't put it down! The pacing was that of which had me on the edge of my seat. Admittedly, the beginning lead me to believe that I was just along for the ride in a stereotypical, albeit enjoyable, YA fantasy/romance story. Sooooooo not the case!!! *Insert obscenities here!*

I don't even know what else to say! I just need the next book!! ...more

I adored this book! I laughed, I cried, and I felt for the characters. The world is so foreign but yet so intriguing and well thought out. The main character goes through a journey, which is slightly predictable but with an unexpected twist. Makes you realize that most of it isn't as it seems. Wonderful backstory of the two orphans growing up. Love this series it's very beautifully written, reminds me a bit of the daughter of smoke and bone in the way it is so poetic and lyrical , realistic in a ...more
