6/10, didn't like the main character, go read the Keeper of the Lost Cities series for a better fantasy novel than this.

Holy cow, that book got devoured! In under 24 hours I completed the final book of the series, where as there was a massive gap between 1 and 2, and #2 took me so long to finish.

I want to give it full marks because I LOVED it. It was a fantastic conclusion, and there's so many bits of it that were just amazing. Unfortunately there's a few things that keep nagging at me, so if you're someone who's a perfectionist, sorry there's a few holes in this one. That doesn't stop it being epic, funny, shocking and heart warming. It's just that some bits were too obvious, or didn't feel right. Maybe I'm too used to Marianne's writing style and was able to deduce her thought pattern and plans for the characters. I keep thinking back to her other trilogy end book, The Key, and can see comparisons that might have hinted at some things for me.… (more)

It took me a while to get into this one because it starts quite slow and it had been so long since I'd read the first book. But once it got got going, boy did it get going! Started the next one straight away and can't wait to read more.

I read this book after finishing Marianne Curley's trilogy, and it was impossible to put down. The characters have their flaws, minute as they may be. You want to punch them for making stupid decisions, but you understand why they do. For a first book, this was great. Fantastic for quick reading.
