Review: 4 1/2 Stars - Wonderful Start For A Promising New Series
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 2, 2012
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book, despite the fact that I typically read YA paranormal romance or romance in general.  Similar to her Blood Destiny series, Connie Suttle does a wonderful job with world building, character development and, unlike many authors, she brings in a number of secondary characters so that you really get a sense of community as you immerse yourself in this world.  Despite the fact that there is no romance, the story and plot are so engaging that I read this until all hours of the night, wanting to find out what happens next.I particularly enjoyed the main character Ashe, and his relationship with his parents and friends.  In fact, for a 12-year-old, he is almost too good, but frankly that is a very minor concern as I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his adventures and thoughts.  I am anxious to see how he develops over the course of the series, and very much look forward to the next installment.
