I'm not sure what to think after reading this book. I enjoyed the storytelling and I enjoyed the FMC Aline. You could not help rooting for her. However, I felt a bit like I slid down the rabbit hole with this story. It seemed everyone spoke in riddles and vagueries. Just about the time I felt like I was getting a handle on what was going on---poof something else would happen and I would be confused again. I did get a handle on who the villain was, but knowing her origins is she really a villain? Aline would be really strong one moment and the next frail. It was like I was reading the book with a mist over it. However, I did enjoy the story, and when I got to the end I was happy I hung in there. But it was a bit of a difficult read. I give it 3.5 but roll it up to 4 stars just for the uniqueness of the story.
