At first, this book was quite hard to get into, so it took me a while. But it was worth it! Really enjoyed the story and the characters! They were just so sweet together, I really look forward to reading the second book!

Slow in the beginning, but overall an okay read. I wish the build up to the romance between the two mc’s was more evident. The plot is okay nothing too exciting or thrilling happens except for a few bombshells here and there. I will be reading the second to see how the story ends. “…and that was how Crier learned that pain was not finite; there was no limit to woundless hurt.”

I really loved this book and am so excited to read the sequel!! The characters were interesting and deep, and I enjoyed the complex nature of the situation everyone is in. I do feel as though some things developed very quickly and would have liked to see them explored more deeply, but that’s very minor!
