The plot, twists and foreshadowing are all well laid out. The book moves along at a great pace and kept my interest. It is a romance. I'm not sure why it isn't labeled as that, as it's missing out on a huge market that would love this book. But the romance is one of the main plot point in the book, so if you aren't into that beware.

There is a need for a editorial once over, but nothing that drags you out of the story. I don't know why but it really annoyed me that the author shortened Alexandra to Alix, I felt I was missing the point of changing the e to an i with the shortening. Usually that would imply two different people. . .

The world is well build, and laid out great, I didn't feel like there was any information dumping going on, and all my questions were answered as needed. It looks to be a thrilling series. ( )
