So I’ll be honest, a few times I picked up this book to read only to put it down and go to another book.

But, finally I decided that I really needed to attempt to read this book. Boy, am I glad I finally did. I think at first the reason why I did not get into it was because I really did not know what was going on and who was what and did what, but once I continued to read through several chapters and the story and people began to fall into place.

The twists and turns this story takes its amazing. Bravo to the author for being so creative. Loved all of the characters. They all worked well together. Jesper and Wylan are a great pair. Nina and Matthias have a great backstory. Kaz’s story is very captivating and Inej is quiet but interesting.

Great story and I can’t wait for the next book.
