Love the main characters. I also think the names are inspired. Of course who couldn't love Akiva. Going to continue reading the series.

I read this book so quickly because it was that good! The main character, Karou, is very interesting to read about. Her world is full of things she doesn't really understand and you can feel that veil of information that is masked from her background. She has grown up with these protectors her whole life and doing small errands for their leader. I personally really loved her character and learning about her personality that makes her kickass with her blue hair.
My favorite part of the whole book is probably the moment she snapped the wishbone. The way Laini Taylor worded it was beautiful then you got to go into the past to see and meet a younger Akiva. Learn about his past and how he met the love of his life.
The whole book was very fulfilling and I am diving into Days of Blood and Starlight as soon as I am done with this review. I would definitely recommend this!

(Listened to this as an audiobook--can't find that on here, though, so I'm rating this one instead.)
Just as good, if not better, the second time around. Even knowing the plot already, I'm still astounded by Taylor's creativity and originality. It's such a pleasure to read (listen to?) something so unique and creative. The romance is a bit on the cheesy side, I have to admit, but I'm living with it.
I really liked this narrator, too. I usually have a hard, hard time paying attention to audiobooks, but between the story and the narrator, I found myself purposely spending more time doing chores/crocheting/cooking/etc. just so I could listen to it. Some of her accents/voices were a little odd to me, but I liked her overall.
