SIGH... i so badly wanted to love this book, but the characters were bland and flat and i just didn't like them at all. i didn't care about them, i didn't care about the love triangle, and i saw the
betrayal
coming too. at times i wanted to give the main character a good old smack, because what a dumb decision that was!!!! *releases heavy sigh*

however, the magic system was extremely cool, and i loved the eeriness of the atmosphere. there are many twists along the way, which definitely added to my interest (and confusion at times). pascale lacelle's writing is also really dreamy, mystical and atmospheric. 

in terms of the sequel, well... i may pick it up when it comes out-- if i feel like it.
