Honestly I really enjoyed this one and will definitely be continuing with the series. It took me awhile to get into the book because the beginning was a bit slow and then the animal death scene towards the beginning was very graphic and difficult for me to listen to. But once the paced picked up and I made sense of some things that had confused me at first I was very hooked. 

I am not overly attached to either of the main girls to be honest but their stories still managed to intrigue me. While the romances did provide me some sexy inspiring quotes I could care less about them. The only one I'd care to see more of is Rielle and Corien but that's mostly because Corien is interesting to me and I want to see how his story plays out.

There are two storylines with two main characters. I enjoyed one storyline much more than the other. The less enjoyable storyline felt really redundant and the characters less believable.

As the first book of the Empirium series, it’s a great read. The alternating POV’s flows well and the characters are understandable/relatable. I would probably list it as Adult Fantasy rather than Young Adult Fantasy.
