“If longing is madness, then none of us are sane.”


I absolutely loved the story of this, I loved the plot, maybe even more than the romance, which, kinda felt like there was something missing; mostly because Ayla was super confusing as a character, and there wasn't really anything that made me FEEL the growing feelings before they were blatantly stated. Ayla also kinda annoyed me at times, whilst I understood her wanting revenge at first and going about it by being set on killing Crier, at a certain point, it just felt like she wanted to kill Crier just because she refused to admit that she was wrong and that Crier wasn't her father. It's especially ever more annoying when you realize Crier has been nothing but kind to her, helping her whenever she needed it and even when she didn't.

However, I absolutely adored Crier. She is without a doubt my favorite character in this book. If anything ever happens to her, I'm gonna kill everyone and then myself.

I can't wait to read the sequel and see where this ends up going!

If you crossed Scott Westerfeld's Uglies with Marissa Meyer's Cinder, this is what you would get. It was very fast-paced and I loved everything about it.
