None. Amazon preorder,Amazon received  romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 |  This book...I loved it. It is truly amazing. The characters are very well developed. The story is a page turner. The ending is such a surprise. I can't say enough about this book. (  ) jmorrison | Jan 7, 2012 | I really enjoyed this latest young adult fantasy from Shinn. The topic of colonization is an interesting one to me and was dealt with very well while still informing the overall world building and characters. (  ) janepriceestrada | Feb 1, 2011 | Lady Averie Winston sails to recently conquered Chiarrin to spend a few months with her father and fiance, who are with the occupation army there. She falls in love with the country and the people straightaway, but the country is restless, and Chiarrin rebels are still fighting the invaders. Averie comes to question the concept of imperialism, which she has taken for granted her whole life. Meanwhile, Averie and her fiance both discover that the other is not who they thought or wished they were. ( ) soraki | Nov 19, 2010 | The daughter of a general, engaged to a soldier, moves to an occupied territory where she must face the day to day realities of being an occupier. As with all of Shinn's books, the premise is creative and the writing is smooth. It took longer for me to get into this book than others, but the ending made it worth it.
