I usually read a series when I can read it all together back to back because I'm not very patient. I can't believe I have to wait for the next book. With all that being said, I'd still HAPPILY would have spent the last 6 days reading this series because it is excellent! I don't even think the next book in this series will end it because there are so many great paths it can explore further. The writing style and world Reine created blows my mind with its creativity, especially as a writer myself. The story lines are as riveting as the characters' mind blowing depths. It's truly amazing to see what a brilliant mind can imagine. I found myself in awe of this writer and humbled.The series, I believe must be started at the beginning. In no way do I want to over share here and blow the experience for anyone who reads it so while I'm sorry I'm vague I think you'll agree when you read the series. I'd strongly suggest that you don't read any reviews that delve to deeply into specifics in the storyline. It would hurt the brilliance that you are experiencing as you can't wait to turn the next page. With that being said ..The main characters Elise and James are both broken in many ways but complete each other in others that developed beautifully. So many motivations and secrets are revealed in this book, and they are shocking. For me, they provoked so many conflicting emotions within. I was sad for them both but hopeful that it can still work out because you can't count either one of these two out. I was mad at one but my heart broke in sympathy at the same time. I rooted for people I didn't expect and hated people I thought I wouldn't. I loved the brilliant supporting people of the story that were so unexpected. Elise is strong, independent, loyal, a force of nature with a spine of steal. She is also emotionally broken by an exceptionally hard life. James' love and constant companionship while strengthening her maybe the one thing that has the power to destroy her. James' love and will may also be the only thing that saves them both from a fate set for them long before either was ever born.As I said before, what I loved most was how unexpected this whole new world Reine created is. I will dream about it because the creation was so real that I was immersed. Even with all the screwed upness of that world I would love to visit, and CAN NOT WAIT until Reine brings it back again. I may actually re-read the series, which is something I have NEVER done! HUNDREDS OF BOOKS ON MY KINDLE AND NEVER ONCE HAVE I REREAD BEFORE NOW! I'm just not ready to leave Elise and James yet. Additionally, I'm sure between the unbelievable amount of depth and my need to find out what happened next, I'm sure I'd see even more with a reread. Have fun reading this series, I'm smiling for the experience your getting ready to have.
