Great book. I would recommend that those who are pregnant, or have small children stay away, however. I would absolutely read this again, and purchase it. I'm on to the sequel next!

Loved the writing style of Laini. But there were so many names I sometimes couldn't keep up. Hence the 4,5 instead of 5 stars. Also I didn't think Sparrow, Ruby and Feral had much role maybe in part 2 they do, but for now they just seemed...there?
