Review- 4.5 Stars (Superior Read)- Reviewed by Allison for Read the Rainbow [...]I don’t even know where to begin right now. There were so many things I loved about this book. I loved the rawness of it, seeing everything through Mira’s eyes—her experiences in a culture she’s just now learning, coming to terms with enjoying things most people might frown upon, her struggles, her fears, her strife. I don’t want to be too specific, because even the smallest details would give too much away. I found myself hungering to know what happens with Mira and the tutor. I even speculated a possibility of Mira and Ah-ee hooking up. Then there was the mistress…my God, the mistress. If you could hear my thoughts right now, the airy, whimsical tone of my voice would tell you just how much I enjoyed this story. It was a great, solid, fast read.It wasn’t completely without flaws though, and this may just be my personal opinion here. Definitely nothing that would make me not go back and read it again. In fact, I’m dying for the second installment already.I did find myself losing track of the dialogue and action occasionally, but it wasn’t too distracting, not enough to take away from my enjoyment. The last very minor detail was stumbling over the names. Again, not distracting enough to make me not enjoy the book. As I said, I can’t wait to read the second one.Well done, Miss Vitsky.
