This is just beautiful.  Amy Lane has set herself a very difficult task, the main character Knife is not beautiful, in fact he is quite disfigured, not altogether pleasant to be around and yet Amy makes him both fascinating and had me definitely in his corner.  At times he broke my heart.I know many people have compared this to Beauty and the Beast, and of course it's hard not to see those basic bones in the story, but Knife and Aerie-Smith are beautifully drawn characters in their own right.  I loved them both.Kudos to Ms. Lane, too often writers take the easy road, creating a character such as Knife and making him flesh and blood and very beautiful indeed, that takes talent.Read the book.
