A very well written fantasy story with excellent world building, this debut novel is also a multi-layered tale about class and society. Wilde manages to do what many may have thought is the impossible, and tells this tale without the use of a love triangle.

In fact, the characters in this book all manage to interact with each other without any romantic involvement at all! *gasp*

I know it doesn't seem possible, but I assure you, it is true.
