This isn't a book I would have picked up on my own. When I found it, I was on the warpath to find some hard-core high fantasy. I talked to a lady at Barnes and Noble and she handed me this book. I almost put it back down but figured why not. I wasn't particularly motivated to read any of the other books I bought so I started in on this one. I was hooked halfway through the first chapter. Ash is dark and so thoroughly broken. I related to him on so many levels. Then Darian came along and he's so easily loveable. So polite and understanding. It almost made me cry the first time I read it. I finished the book in three days. It was such an incredible read. Honestly if you're looking for a good broken romance this the book I would recommend every time.
