I've been thinking about rereading this to move on in the series.


Ilse | 67 comments As soon as this book is delivered, I'll start reading :)


Kristina (kristinaowl) Oooohh, I have wanted to read this for a while :)

That's so sweet!


Steven I began reading last night, and it dramatically jumped right into an adventure.

Christina (laaztecabella) | 22 comments I am hooked!


Steven I have not really read any YA books, and when I started this one, did not realize Tahir was a YA author. I am pleasantly surprised and wish I had access to such books when I was in high school. Even though those high school years are so far distant to be well out of the rearview mirror, this story is moving along a nice clip and keeps calling me back to the book’s pages.


Kristina (kristinaowl) I like it so far, excited to see where it goes :)


Steven I thought this was great – why do Tribesmen have so many mirrors in their houses – “Jinn and wraiths can’t stand the sight of themselves..”

Christina (laaztecabella) | 22 comments Okay, I am slightly annoyed and I will explain why. I am seriously questioning the competence of the Resistance.

I have so much more to say but I will wait to see how this will turn out...

Steven I just finished the first trial and thought it was exceptionally well done - fell into the hard to put down reading category

About the spoiler.. yeah.. you'll see more of those super logical moments in the book. I would like to see those "so much more to say" things, I'm curious.
