A really enjoyable read! The world the author has created is exciting and the characters intriguing. I found myself getting caught up in the story and did not want to put it down. I'm hoping there will be another book to follow the story!

I was recommended this new book by a friend and really enjoyed it. Once I started reading it I didn't want to put it down. Loved the ending and hanging out in hope of the next book to see what happens!

An epic tale with a deeply human message of power, privilege and demanded submission, a sweeping story with a moral dilemma and true decency at its heart. I eagerly await book 2!

I'm not generally a fiction reader but a friend recommended this to me so I thought I'd give it a try. It didn't take me long before I was hooked and not wanting the story to end! I have already passed this book along again. Maybe I'll start reading more fiction now.
