I don't often review or rate the books I read on Amazon, but this book was fantastic.  I was hooked from the first chapter.  I had to keep reading to see how that chapter fit with the rest of the book.  There was a point or two when I actually had to go back to reread the first chapter to make sure I didn't miss a key detail.And the plot twist.... I kept asking how things  were going to tie together, but I truly never saw THAT coming!  I actually had to stop  and hold my head in my hands, and then I went back and reread 3 times to make sure it really happened.  I don't know if everyone was caught off guard like me, but I never expected what happened-- which makes this book truly fabulous to me.Then the tears came.  I haven't cried while reading a book in years!  I think the last time was when Dumbledore died in the Harry Potter series (Ok, I admit I am a nerd, but still!)!The character development was so thorough for a single novel, as opposed to the current trend of writing trilogies.  I felt a connection to these people.  Though I didn't love either character's name (which will keep me from reading a book) I was amazed at how close I felt to them. Win was not a helpless, whiny woman.  She was tough and strong, which I liked. Mav was awesome!There were a few holes which I wondered about that the author didn't fill in, but it didn't detract from the story.Overall, I think this book is worthy of a best sellers list-- any-- if not the NYTIMES!!!!!
