I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the rest of the series. The only reason I knocked it down is because I found the FMC super annoying at times- she is intelligent but then she keeps making stupid decisions. She says one thing/states her beliefs as the base of her arguments and then is a total hypocrite. I couldn’t understand her motives for doing/saying certain things based on her character’s actions and previously revealed thoughts. That was frustrating. She does get better and now that she is past that I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes.

I am however super in love with Ash/Nyktos.
