The dead are no danger because they don’t exist anymore. I’m concerned only with the living.

I liked Nessa when she was a side character in Brutal Prince. I didn't like her in Stolen Heir. She was so naive and innocent. I can't shake the feeling that her naivety led her to fall in love with Miko - a classic Stockholm syndrome storyline. I know this was inspired by Beauty and the Beast. I was just hoping Nessa was at least a bit braver and stronger.

Still, Sophie's writing was gripping. But it did bother me that some of the things Nessa did are out of her character.
