I quite enjoyed this book and the only reason I give 4 stars is because the writing felt off for me. Too many "she" and "he" and pretty soon I was lost as to whom the author was talking about. I was also annoyed at all the injuries that Naomi got which seemed to disappear and magically not bother her anymore. Hello, branding on the arm anyone? Isn't it the type of thing that might get infected or at least hurt for a while? Yet there were no mentions of bandages or ointments or any hurting at all. And the whole premise of Naomi being mistaken for Lady Naomi.... If she did look like her, where is the Lady? She was never mentioned again.Naomi was a little annoying but I can't quite pinpoint why, but otherwise she was pretty cool. I really liked Tavik and his inner struggle! For supposedly being evil he was so cute and sweet! I wish there was an epilogue or something because I wanted more interaction between them, MORE!!!!!The story was very original too, I can't say that i was ready for who turned out to be the unicorn bait lol. Like i said before the writing felt off, like it was too short? Not enough descriptions? Kind of dry? Not sure what it was that bothered me, it was good enough to hold my attention (I've read this book in one day) but not good enough to be great. I also felt that this would have been better as 2 books, even if first one would have ended in terrible cliffhanger. The last 20% of the book just felt so rushed, and I think it would have benefited from expanding on those events. Let Naomi grow, have more adventures on her own, get into other characters a little more.I still like it the way it is , and Naomi and Tavik are one of my favorite couples now.
