This was a dark, beautiful, powerful YA story. I loved the interwoven of mythology and new story telling, the characters, and the writing.
I really disagree with most reviewers that Amie was annoying. I think she was a sixteen year old girl who was betrayed, forced into service, and unloved. Her whining and being upset is to be expected. I also think she had the best character growth, realizing that her wants and needs shouldn't outweigh others, and that wouldn't shouldn't put their future on a boy.
The other characters were great, with depth that you can appreciate. Even the villain is understandable.
I cannot wait for book 2.
Thank you Flatiron Books and Macmillion Audio for the ARC!
