My Take on the Book:
Out of the POV’s, I enjoyed Orin’s the most – a lot of the time, he seemed like a noble character. Another character I quite liked was Sigmia. There was the odd occasions where this story seemed a little bit directionless – but once things started coming together; the book became interesting.
I ended up giving this book a three star rating and got a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Last Word:
This book felt a bit open-ended; with a few loose ends that need to be tied up – so I’m hoping that there’s going to be a sequel to this book.
Enjoy,
Carmen
