This novel was fantastically put together.  The description and narrative give you a brilliant picture of the world that this author has created while leaving room for your imagination to run wild.  Godim had me completely enmeshed in her intricate storyline while keeping me entertained.  It was both an intellectually and creatively stimulating read.  I loved the twist that the author threw in for magic users.  It made me giggle and really made me think.  Although this novel had an in-depth storyline, it was also a light-hearted, fun read.  It is the best of many worlds.I loved how real the characters were in this novel.  Godim merges reality with fantasy in their development.  The main character was so approachable that I couldn’t help but feel for her, and root for her to succeed.  The characters are also very well developed.  You get to know who everyone is.  Their backgrounds and personalities are developed in such a manner that they fit their roles perfectly, without ever overshadowing the main characters.This novel was definitely night and day from the last novel I read by this author and even more captivating.  It was a brilliant fantasy tale from Godim.  I fully enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone.Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
