It is past 3AM and I stayed up just so I could finish this book.

I really wanted to take my time with this book and savor every moment of it but, as usual, I got so excited about everything that I went into manic mode and finished it.

This is one of the best books that I have ever read in my life, and I don't say that lightly. 

I fell in love with all the characters; I laughed, I cried, and I felt their heartache. 

Although I am glad this was a stand-alone novel, part of me wishes the author hadn't discontinued the stories that happen within this world. Especially because the other two Theonite books are no longer available for purchase. 

It's not really like me to re-read many books, but this one definitely feels like the type of book that I would gladly re-read in the future. 

Looking forward to reading more from this author in the near future.
