I LOVED this book! It has all the components I love in a novel: gray characters so well-imagined they could walk off the page, a vivid world both familiar and fantastical so that it transports you while simultaneously seeming so real, a kick-butt heroine, plot twists and surprises that keep you turning the page for more, and an ending that is fitting yet leaves me yearning for the next book (The Second Sin) so the adventure doesn’t have to end. I can’t wait to read more from Jessica Brawner!
