Practically a perfect book. I both wish I had the finess and talent to write this, and wish that I could erase it from my memory to experience for the first time again. <The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the ending DESTROYED me and I was so upset. Have high hopes for the rest of the series though. Edit: upon review, and after reading Harrow the Ninth, it absolutely gets 5 stars :).>
