Audio book review.
Just as a heads up to those who are plot driven, not a lot happens in this book. At the beginning, Kira (sp?) is forced to endure a dinner with several foreign powers, including a conceited crown prince who keeps insisting she will be his wife (one of many, apparently). Kira shoots him down in a glorious fire of tactful insults, but he gets back at her by organizing a kidnapping. She is spirited away in the middle of the night and is on the way to his far away kingdom. She manages to sabotage the prince's ship shortly before they arrive at their final destination, she meets up with her boyfriend Jason (rather conveniently), and the rest of the book is them fighting against every bad situation and everything that could possibly go wrong as they make their way over mountains and through valleys to get away from the Empire and the Imperial soldiers who are trying to kill the both of them. Their final standoff is epic. But literally, they get saved, sail back to their homeland, and the book ends. Just a heads up for those who might find this book a bit boring because of lack of plot. For those of us who are character-driven, wasn't this book amazing?? :)
