First, I listened to this book on Audio and greatly enjoyed the voice of the speaker. He describes each character in detail using the correct tone of voice. I truly did enjoy his reading.As for the book, I am not quite sure about this one. It had moments that I loved and moments where I was bored. There are four seperate point of views..which I am not particurally thrilled about. It is hard to feel for one character when they change so much. I did find myself liking Aya and Belias alot more than Mallory and Kaleb. Aya is such a strong, confident character and I liked that about her. She overcomes odds and stands for what she believes. Belias just loves Aya...and basically she is all he cares about. I truly loved their connection and everything that happens between and to them. Mallory and Kaleb are a different story. I found Mallory to be weak and on the verge of annoying at some times. She also seemed to be pretty clueless about the world around her even though she was trained up to know about damions the enter time. Kaleb was an ok character but I also had a hard time believing their "immediiate" love.The book begins and you think it is going to be all about the "fights" that these characters are signed up for. The fights are a deadly competition between daimons where you fight to win your standing in the community. Yet about halfway thru the book I realized that this is only a small part of the actual plot.Therefore I will have to give this book a 3 1/2 star. It was an ok read and I dont regret reading it but for some reason I just could not connect?
