So great, loved the characters, loved how at one point Ead literally resurrected herself from the absolute brink of death and the first thing she did was have sex with Sabran (so real), want to read a whole book about them in 10 years time living happily ever after!!!!!

I would give this book even more stars if I could. It has captivated me from the beginning. There are different plots and the POVs change with every chapter. I cannot agree with the sentiment, that the pacing was off. I never had a feeling of 'Just make it end.' The chapters were brief but always ended on a hook that made me more excited for the individual stories to continue. All in all a perfect read to me!
