So I believed that this book was wonderful, intriguing, had great characters and a terrific plot line- and it did if you are 14 and can't see beyond the holes in the plotting. If you can love a whining, annoying heroine that has no common sense and acts like a spoiled 13 year old (she was supposed to be an adult, was she not?) then this book is for you. If you love the hugely and obviously bad guy vs the sweet demure good girl AND love a book with virtually no end -just a set up for the next book. If you love more questions than there are answers and annoyingly grumpy and arrogant male main characters, (and what looks to be love interests) then you will adore this book.
This was a puerile attempt at an "epic fantasy" as one reviewer called it, a "classic fantasy" as another did. I think the plot was trite and overdone. Too common of a storyline and had no surprises.
I might have liked this book more if Raine our main character weren't in it. I loved all of the secondary and tertiary characters and on this alone, I might be tempted to read the second book---keyword 'might'.… (more)
