This is a heart pounder! I did NOT want to put it down! I findthe character dynamics enthralling although a bit intense. That's somewhat the realm of fantasy though. The main character is well-written and dealing with both internal and external struggles. Only complaint is that, the romance element that IS there is incredibly unhealthy. I am surprised this is YA fiction. Nevertheless, I am excited to read the next book!
