Steph J. - "Loved the strong female character. She's strong in her own right, not at the expense of the males in the story. Spectacular villains, tender moments, character growth of all characters. Every character is deep and tangible, complex and detailed. The author has built a beautiful, conflicted world, and I can't wait to see where it all goes! If you haven't read this yet, DO IT!"
