I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! So I originally got this book with a friend during a very expensive trip to the bookstore. My friend had read, and very highly recommended, it and I was like “What the heck? I guess I’ll try it.” She even tried to get me to buy the second one at the time, which I didn’t. It is safe to say I am really regretting that decision and that I will never doubt her choice in books again.
Like I said it was a very expensive trip to the bookstore so I had a LOT of books to read and this one was not very high on the list. So at first I picked it up and read about 15 pages and then started reading another book. About a month later I picked this book up again and OH MY GOD I AM IN LOVE.
I don’t know why I ever put this book down to begin with because it had me hooked from the very first page. This book isn’t like others where the author slowly leads you into the story. No, this book is action packed from the start and doesn’t slow down. But even though it’s fast paced it doesn’t make the book feel rushed. This book is very easy to read, but still makes you think and when this book has you it will not let you go. The characters were amazing, the author could make you either really love a character or really hate them, there really wasn’t an in between. I will say, that at some points in this book I almost laughed out loud. The main character Alosa was just so funny when she would give a sarcastic remark or whenever she would escape her cell on the ship. Although the funniest moments were between Alosa and Riden, her love interest. One of my favorite parts was when Riden left her locked in his room and when he came back she had trashed it.
If you are thinking of reading this book, look no further, this is me telling you to go read it. You will thank me later. Now if you will excuse me I am off to order the second book.
