Did I enjoy this book? I really did. I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but I really, really did. It kept me entertained, and it was one that I read every free chance I had.

Unequivocally beautiful. The author has a truly beautiful voice, flawlessly and skillfully weaving her words. I couldn't put it down.

If you liked the Hunger Games series, you will like this one too. :)
I liked this one but am anxious for the sequel. It did make me want to keep reading. Another story with a love triangle - I can never see how these could have a happy ending and I always want the happy ending...
loved it!
