3.0

I really enjoyed the character of Ahn (I know her name is Cas but I think of her as Ahn). She reminded me a little of Amaranthe from the Emperor's Edge series. I loved how competent and determined to escape she is. I also found her back story and upbringing added a nice dimension. I found our hero Tolemek less engaging. Can't really put my finger I why and I do feel sorry for him regarding the events in his life I just couldn't engage with him for some reason. And then there was the relationship between Ahn & Tolemek. The romance just seemed to sudden and unbelievable to me. I think by the end of this book Tolemek had earned her trust and there was definitely some attraction and I can totally see Tolemek falling for her, I just found her devotion to him less believable. I think it would have worked better if they didn't actually get into a relationship until later in the series.
