**4.5 stars

This book was stunning - it had an in-depth world, thoroughly described characters, a great plot, and everything else you can want in a book!

Tea is a great character, with her own perks and quirks. Fox has got to be the best brother ever. Kance is swoon-worthy. I couldn't want anything else from the characters.

The only thing that I had a real problem with was the world. All of the nations included in the book confused me, even though in the back of the book there was a glossary-like page. But it's at the end, and that's not very helpful while you're reading the book. Even with this little problem, the world was good and detailed.

The overall story felt different than most of the YA books I've read recently, so high five to you, Rin Chupeco.

This book was so spell-binding, I think that Rin Chupeco COMPELLED me to read it. ; ) ; )
