When I first began the book I wasn't quite sure what way it was going or what it was about. As I read more,I became engrossed in the intrigue and adventure.Jess is a strong but insecure character. Oxymoronic to say that isn't it?? Well let me explain. She is a heroine in her own right. Strong in how she has overcome adversity and has fought valiantly for her people. Strong in her protection of her family even going as far as saving one from taking on the family protection of the key. Strong in how she loves the friends that she kept close to her. Strong in her convictions and beliefs. Insecure in who she is because of the scars and nightmares from the war. insecure in her ability to read men. Insecure in how she sees Merric and Ronnan. insecure in her thoughts that anyone could see her as attractive.Overall a wonderful character because she isn't perfect. She should follow her instincts more though.Merric: a very enigmatic character. I wanted to cry for him when he finally opened up to Jess and felt betrayed. You know he has feelings for Jess and she has them for him as well but is fearful of acting upon them. Although she follows up on her feelings for Ronnan. Bad bad consequences from that one. Merric protects her and saves her many times. Although Merric is enigmatic you are drawn to him. He likes Jess but feels she needs to learn things on her own and follow the journey she needs to become more of who she is and be stronger.Ronnan: Although gorgeous he is a snake. He can be charismatic and kind but is still a wolf in sheeps clothing.The story: intriguing and engrossing. Will keep you guessing and wanting more. I love the scene where Jess escape the dimension and where Merric finally opens up. The writing style will capture you into the storyline and not let you go.A story of finding oneself while solving a mystery. Of becoming a stronger person and learning about betrayal and trust. A wonderful intriguing mystery and I look forward to seeing if Jess comes out of this stronger and alive.
