Really enjoyed reading this book. All the characters were morally grey and no one was really good outright. I really liked all the relationships on how twisted and complicated they were. This isn't a book about good beating evil or being a good person. It is a book about a girl that has to survive in a world that doesn't accept her and she isn't said to be a perfect or morally upright person like most book leads. Jude isn't righteous, she lies and cheats and is completely flawed. It was an intriguing story and the ending had me on the edge of my seat. I am already ready to pick up the 2nd book and the only thing stopping me is the fact that it is 10pm right now and all bookstores are closed. I am looking forward to what happens next and how the relationship is going to evolve between Cardan and Jude. 

10/10 would recommend!!
