I could not put this book down! I had a hard time predicting a lot of the book, which was a nice change.

I knew Rand was going to betray her at some point because of how Valek described him, but wow. I like that despite being portrayed as the bad guy there was still depth to the chatacter.

I enjoyed the complex characters, but didn’t find them particularly lovable. The plot kept me guessing for the most part.
