This has such complex, and compelling characters.  I have never read a book with a main character like Lysande, but she is by far one of my new favorites.  Not only is she multidimensional, but all of the side characters also have depth.  They all feel like real humans, with real flaws and emotions.  The only fault I can find in this book is that many of the twists I could see coming, so I took away from the shock.  However it did not make this book any less then fantastic, and I can’t wait to learn more about the world and the characters.
