This book kept me on the edge of my seat until the end! I had to put it down several times due to other responsibilities, and each time I kept thinking back to the story and wanting to know what happens next!
I appreciated that this wasn’t a story of learning to use one’s power, but dealing with the emotional baggage that comes with having abilities few people have and having tense relationships with family. The story does a great job of establishing the various characters and their motivations. The ending sets up the next book well and I can’t wait for the release of “Hearts That Cut.”

Suffered from a lot of the same problems as Legendborn. Better pacing though. I’m just gonna stop trying to read YA books from now on, because these books arent even bad, they just aren’t targeted towards me.

I really enjoyed this book! I struggled at first to wrap my head around the mythos of the world, but I found the character dynamics interesting and the plot intriguing to the point where I didn’t want to put it down. I’m eagerly awaiting the sequel!
