This book did feel a bit like filler, since the over arching plot didn't really progress that much, but I still enjoyed it. Any book with plenty of Asil is a good book....more

I don't think I've read a YA quite like this before.
I didn't feel a connection with the main character, and I don't know that i was really supposed to, but I kept reading just to figure out what the heck was going on. I probably won't ever reread this book because I feel like a lot of its draw came from the element of surprise, but it was definitely engrossing the first time around!...more

However, Lucy did have a tendency to get a bit too missish and easily frightened for my taste, especially since she's portrayed as supposedly being capable and independent.

Cute. And Edward was a breath of fresh air. I like a brooding hero as much as the next girl, but I really enjoyed how kind and straightforward Edward Cute. And Edward was a breath of fresh air. I like a brooding hero as much as the next girl, but I really enjoyed how kind and straightforward Edward was. I was a bit surprised that the whole thing with Cecilia's brother resolved so quickly and easily, though. I spent the whole book waiting for a double cross that never came, which was a bit anticlimactic. I was expecting there to be way more of a mystery involved. But other than that, I had a rather good time with the book on the character level....more
