The first thing I have to say about this book is that the world building is fantastic.  It's so descriptive and imaginative that I had no problems getting into or picturing it.  I did have some problems figuring out the roles in society.  I don't think I ever fully understood how Keepers and Hunters would fit into their world.  I eventually had to stop trying to figure it out and just go with it.I really enjoyed Teeka and Quill.  Teeka was sweet, nurturing and lovable.  Quill was solitary, quiet and mysterious.  Their relationship was developing in the aftermath of a murder so they were suspicious of each other and everyone around them.  They were also on edge due to the danger of their situation.  It was fun to watch them slowly open up and get to know one another.  The relationship felt genuine and had a natural progression which was refreshing to see.The entire time I was reading this book I loved it and didn't want to put it down.  I loved the world, I was trying to figure out who killed Brant and why, and I was worried that the killer would try to harm Quill and Teeka.  All the makings of a great mystery were there and kept me engaged.  The budding romance between Quill and Teeka was an added bonus.  I was hooked and loving it right up until the end.  All the loose ends were tied up, Teeka and Quill got their HEA, but I still felt like something was missing and it wasn't complete.  They were just about to embark on a huge transition and I wanted to keep following them to see what would happen next.  Even though I was left a bit unfulfilled, I found Emerald Fire quite enjoyable and would gladly jump back into that world for more.
