My goodness, Erik is a violent man. He's totally all talk when it comes to his threats against Livia, though. The man is quite clearly taken with her from the start. I like that Livia is such a sweet little thing and that Erik brings out a passionate violence in her. Like Erik, she pretends there is nothing but animosity between them, but it's clearly a not true. She's almost as possessive as he is and it's a joy when she rushes to defend him. 

The side characters are interesting and the world is captivating. I like the idea of a "flipped" world across the barrier. I also like the pirate ship and the sailing. It's very cool. The kidnapping and world healing plot are engaging and provide the perfect backdrop for our leads to grow together. I'm looking forward to book two after that cliffhanger!
