That was genuinely a great book. True to the description, I've never read a book like that before and I really did enjoy the adventure, action, romance and betrayal throughout this book. I also loved the smaller details. One in particular is a fight scene where the opponent doesn't tie her hair back and it hinders her periphery putting her at a momentary disadvantage. The ending was simultaneously obvious and shocking, explaining so many of his actions that I'll forgive the lack of communication that generally drives me up a wall in books. I absolutely plan on reading the second book.
