This book starts off great going between the perspectives of Zala and Karim. I was interested in both view points and was eager to learn more about the characters. The storyline was exciting and full of action! I also got the sense that the world was so much bigger and complicated than what was shown in this book--which I loved.
Unfortunatley, Zala's motivations throughout the novel were surface deep, while I got the sense that Karim's motivations were much deeper. I would have liked to have seen some deeper motivations for Zala. The real disappointment, however, was the ending. This book was steamrolling into my favorites category until the last couple chapters. I won't spoil anything, but I was disappointed and frustrated. I am still interested in Zala and Karim's stories and will be looking to read the next book in the series.
