  1. I hate Taryn.
  2. Jude and Cardan need to get their shit together because this series was sold to me as romance fantasy, but I'm only getting CRUMBS of it, and every time I think, "Oooh, it's happening, they're moving in the right direction," BAM, betrayal.
  3. I really hate Taryn.
  4. Very good; highly recommend
  5. I hate Taryn so much
