I have to say, I wasn't impressed in the beginning, nor was I impressed in the middle. And to be perfectly honest, the ending even didn't THRILL me. It came as a big....rush in 50 pages. However, the way it ended was so incredibly different than other books. There was no resolution. Books that end leaving you questioning what on earth just happened are what I like. And the way this book ended was just BOOM, smackdown. You can see Honor growing up throughout the book in ways that a child really would. She has learned to question and not just believe the people who tell her things. It is our job to ask and doubt, for without doubt, how could we discover?
