I loved this book! The characters are deep, complex,  and have real personality. Especially Elspeth, Ravyn, and Elm!

The Providence Card and infected are such unique magic system.  The way the cards work and how they will eventually corrupt the user is so refreshing. 

I love the relationship between Espeth and Ravyn. They go from guarded to friends to lovers in a realistic way.  They are clearly drawn to each other while trying to keep things simple.  I'm happy with the way their relationship has evolved. 

I'm so curious about the Nightmare. What is he really up to? What is going to happen to Elsepth now?

I can't wait to start book two!
