This book!! It continuously had me on edge. Right up to the VERY end. Which, btw, is a bit cliffy. Like, where is this going to go from here? The world she paints is so vivid, right down to the smallest details. This was such a roller coaster. The deep feelings elicited swing from sad, excited, to mad and then ecstatic. The end had my stomach in knots. All the twists and turns had my head spinning! I'm still not sure I understand what happened. I feel like I need to re-read the entire series again.

Unfortunately, the storyline really wasn’t fleshed out. The novel skims the major points you’d expect of a fantasy novel, but with very little detail/dialogue. Further, the author went into very little detail when going over each character’s background. The characters seem to have no real motivations for anything they do. I really wanted to like this book, but I couldn’t fully immerse myself in it.

Absolutely am in love with this series! Can't wait for book 2!
