I was looking for a more mature fantasy series. This leaned more young adult than had been explained to me in the book store, so some of the writing was a bit less challenging than I’d have hoped for. However, the fast pace, plot twists, and sexy interactions I wasn’t expecting seemed to pull me in, despite wanting not to like it early on. A third of the way into the novel it picked up and I couldn’t put it down. It was seductive and full of symbolism. The mystery of the plot and cliffhanger end left me anxious to read on in the series…plus it’s hot! Perfect for a summer reader. I’ll read the next one.
