Edit:
I feel like my original review only gave voice to the great need I had to vent my frustration on one character. Other than him this book is awesome. I love the world and the idea that healing is more important than swords. The main character Kira is awesome in the fact that she’s not perfect. She’s just a teenager trying to do the right thing for her people and knows when she doesn’t know everything.

I will still keep my rant because that character really irks me

I love this book. It’s a great series except for the love interest Kira has for Tierken. He’s so self involved any everyone keeps saying you need to understand him. No he needs to get his head out of his arse and stop trying to make her a prisoner. And she lets him. She says no I gotta go to my people but does nothing. It’s like she enjoys being treated like crap and it’s just sad. she’s not the independent woman she thinks she is.
