This book was fantastic. I was captivated from the first sentence. The world building was fascinating. It felt wholly unique and, yet, there was something familiar about it, too. The post-apocalyptic atmosphere was harsh, cold, and unforgiving, but there were strong undercurrents of hope, love, and freedom, too.

I was incredibly intrigued by Sephone's gift of memory manipulation, not to mention all the other alters' powers too. The vast array of different powers, what they could do, and how they affected others was very interesting. There were plenty of characters to root for, many villains, as well. Of course, I liked Sephone and Dorian, Bear and Bas, even Cass, but my favorite character had to be Lady Jewel. She was just flat-out awesome.

This story was constantly on my mind. I was thinking about it even when I had to set it aside to do real-life things. It even invaded my dreams. If you're a fantasy fan, this book is a must-read. The next book can't come out soon enough.
