“My soul is yours," he said. "You know that it is.”
I have heard this book get so much praise from so many different people, but I never actually knew what it was about, I just saw it at my library and decided to give it a shot, and I'm very glad that I did.
This book is such a step away from most other YA fantasy/romance novels that I've read recently. It shares some similarities to these stories, especially with the main characters dealing with war at some point in their lives, but it has a way of keeping me on my toes while reading; I never quite know what's going to happen next.
The romance between the two leads is so precious, to the point that I can barely even articulate why I love it so much. I think the thing that pulls me in so much is just how believable it is, and ow difficult it is for them to feel the way they do. I actually cried a little during certain scenes, and that doesn't happen all that often to me.
I'm really excited to continue the series, I just hope and pray it doesn't implode on itself like so, so many others in this genre have.
