Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Thanks! I'll get my review done as soon as possible! It was an awesome book! Just wondering, but where do you get the rest of the series and can I get then for free?

The books are available at all the major retailers (Amazon, B&N, i-tunes, etc.), but since word-of-mouth & reviews are the only marketing I'm doing, I'm always glad to give review copies to anyone who'll blog about them...

Derrolyn Anderson Wow! They're really rolling in today!
First of all, I want to thank all of you for taking the time to give me your impressions- I learn something from each and every one of them.

Thank you so much Candace, Aimee, Marina(!), Carolina, and Jeni. You guys are great!

And Nawnee - What can I say? Readers like you make all the hard work so rewarding. I hope you enjoy the second two as much as you did the first (I'm told they're quite different...) MUAH!!!

Back to editing.

Hey Alexandria & Rhee!!!
I'm honored that you made time for it - the last thing I want is someone to force it down unwillingly.
I love both of your reviews - great observations!
Thank you very much!!!

R J Royer (rjroyer) | 26 comments My review

When I started this book I was unsure of how to classify it as there are so many different places to place it. Upon finishing it I decided that the best classification to place it in would be Young Adult or Fantasy.

As to the book itself, it is very enjoyable. I liked the main character development as well as the surrounding relationships even though I did feel at times that they where forced into acting the way they did. Marina is at times very troubled and that makes her easy to relate to. I did find her cousin very interesting though I do believe he should have been developed more.

There where only two issues I have had with the book and one I have already mentioned and that is supporting cast development and second would be that the ending seemed rushed. The confrontation with the antagonist at the end seemed almost to easy. This could be because there is more coming in other books though I would consider the end of this one an almost stand alone.

I did like the book and think it deserves to be read by those in their young teens.
