A complicated story filled with spies, secrets, a unique magic system and a memory thief makes for a very compelling story. While a rebellion story is not in itself unique, the magic inside this story is. A group of people with unique abilities so much so that you may never meet another one just like. A slow burn romance and that ending with all it s plot twists spewing out left and right i can hardly wait for the next book. The best thing about our main character Ren is that she struggles with her magic. She can loose control to the point where she turns people into hollows. She was forced to at one time for the king. She never wants to do that again, in other ways she can see how her magic can help ease someone’s pain, and again she can see how it can benefit her revenge. This is a fantastic story and the cover is breath taking.

I was going to give this 3.5 stars.. I was also not planning on continuing with the series. But the last 100 pages made me bump this to 4 stars and I am inclined to continue on to book two!
The first two thirds of the book were... wordy. They just felt excessively drawn out and not super thrilling. Everything that happened in the last hundred pages was suddenly far more interesting!
