What I Loved

I’m 99% sure it’s impossible for me to not love a Kelley Armstrong book. Seriously! Or maybe she’s just that incredible (which I’d believe). I loved the sister relationship in this book. I don’t think there’s enough of those, especially in fantasy. Sometimes there’s the whole younger.older sibling thing going on but it was nice to see sisters as equals. I think that’s probably my favourite part of this whole series. These sisters really work together and know each other. Also they eat have a special guardian (a pet) who helps watch over them and I really love how they interact with everyone.

What I Didn't Like

I had nothing wrong with this whole series, not just the book. I did wish that my ship would have won but we can’t always get what we want, can we? I maybe wish that there was a little something more to this series but it was still good. Not unbelievable or amazing but really good and I’m happy with how it turned out.

Who I'd Recommend This To

I’d recommend this to anyone looking for an easy fantasy book to read. This one isn’t too complicated or long which makes it pretty easy to get swept into. It would also be great for anyone just starting out in fantasy that wants to get a little taste of the potential of the genre.
