This was not for me. I should have made it a DNF, but the idea intrigued me.

I downloaded this ebook when it was offered for free from Amazon, thinking it was worth a chance reading, and I was right. This first book in a series is surprisingly well-written and an interesting story. I currently have it classified as fantasy, but it isn't really a fantasy story. However, neither is it modern, urban-fantasy, or sci-fi.

Review is coming.
So I meant to write a review after letting the story rest for a day or two in my head, but I ended up reading the rest of the trilogy.
At this point I don't think I have the emotional capacity to write anything. All I can say is that people need to read this book! Like now!
This plot, the characters, the drama, the intrigue, the love and betrayal, the desire and pain all combine together to give you a masterpiece.
This series wasn't perfect. There were quite a few spelling and grammar errors (which I've heard have been fixed since), but for those of you who read this review, I want you to look past that and read the trilogy anyway. It has changed my life in a way I can't describe in words (this may also be because I just finished reading the last book an hour ago and my emotions haven't settled yet). Whether or not you think this book will be life changing, take a gamble and try it anyway. You'll be surprised to read something so different from any other young adult fantasy book.
Please. Read.
Overall rating of trilogy: 4.5/5 stars

4.5 ~ This was a freebe on Amazon, and I'll admit it: I didn't expect much. But I was pleasently surprised! This was a great entry novel into a new fantasy world and pulled me into it. I'm buying the next one on my kindle right now!!

Surprisingly unpredictable considering the genre and all of its many tropes. Katson did a good job of building suspense and subverting expectations. Some of the writing was a little unclear, but overall a worthwhile and entertaining read.
