I enjoyed this book. It was easy and never boring to read and was not a predictable romance novel. I liked most of the characters and you could tell that the author did her research. It's not going to be my favourite book and I am still debating on continuing this series, but I can't deny that it's a nice book. However I think I will read the crow series first before coming back to this on.
