This book was fantastic! The descriptions were just amazing and the characters were well put together. Of course, there was a twist that I wasn't even expecting, that always seems to happen when I want another outcome. 
I really wanted to ship Tem and Kamzin in the beginning, but as the story progressed I totally shipped River and Kamzin. This who love triangle made my head spin through the entire book!
I can't keep going or else I'll spoil something and I don't want to do that.
Overall, very good read. I really hated that cliffhanger though! It seriously tore a part of my soul out. Can't wait for the next book!!
