 This might be my favourite in the series.

Just a quick sidenote, Vuk obviously speaks Serbian, and he's called "the Serb", but he grew up in the US. Not sure what the significance of it is in the end, feels more like a hook. A more thorough explanation would have been nice.

Okay, so Ayana's engagement to Jordan kind of throws one out of it in the beginning, and it's a good hook because the author doesn't explain right away what's going on and makes us work for it throughout the story.

Regarding Vuk, not sure that I got the explanation of why he doesn't speak to people, and also Jordan's explanation regarding the engagement seems a bit weird as the author never hints that his family might be so closed-minded. In fact, his grandmother seems like a woman with the nerves of steel.

Overall, quite liked the book, and I wish I didn't need to go all the way to book 5 to find one I liked so much (I was very close to ending the series after the last book but figured how bad could one more be).
