I was a little confused while reading this book. I think that was mostly because I have not read the first book in this series. I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway. I had entered the giveaway for the first book as well, but only won this one, I guess it was meant to be.This book took a little longer than usual to get and hold my attention, but once it did I couldn't stop reading it. This is a very fast paced and exciting book. Just like others are saying, this book is a bit like Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings and Eragon. They are also saying Harry Potter, but I don't really see it. I know this has dragons and elves, but other than that it really isn't like Harry Potter."After learning the Queen of Galia wishes to destroy her, and sent men—including her father’s killer—to Alyria to arrest her, Erynn and her friend, Adena, fled Caraden Castle and set out on a journey to find her birth parents and the Order of the Cael, a group she hopes can help her. Blamed soon after for murdering the King of Alyria, they now find themselves hunted by Alyrians and Galians.In their race to escape, they find themselves hampered by two things: there are only two bridges out of Alyria and both are heavily guarded—and they have also learned of a Galian plot to kill the Crown Prince of Alyria and the only possible solution to warning him in time lies in the completely opposite direction.Choosing to save the Crown Prince—and possibly achieve justice for her father at the same time—Erynn sets out west with Adena to try and locate an old friend, who she hopes has the falcon they need to send an important message. Along the way, she discovers more about who she is and why the Queen of Galia wishes to destroy her—and the destiny it seems she may have been born to face." -GoodreadsI thought I would just use their (Goodreads.com) description of the book for a change. I don't even know if I could describe this book, there is just too much to it.I really like this book, even if I didn't fully know what was going on in the beginning. I liked it so much that I am going to be buying the first one very soon. Word of advice; never read books out of order. It can make things very confusing or very interesting. :)I highly recommend this to anyone who's interested. It is well worth checking out. It is very interesting, fast paced, plenty of danger, well written. Just a good read all around.
