I loved this book so much it really stood out in a world of magic based YA as being different than anything I have ever read. I loved the characters so much especially Vhala and Aldrick their relationship was a rocky one started out not so good and grew into something you just root for. I loved Vhala for wanting to be who she is and only when the worst happened did she just about want to give up I am really rooting for her. I loved Aldrick even if he started out as a pretty cold character you could really see what he felt for Vhala by the end it was so very heart wrenching. I really loved the plot it started out with a girl that was discovered to have magic to only reject it and then learned to not reject it before the story threw a curve ball though I loved the book overall I will be reading the rest soon.
