I was simply blown away by the fantastic characters and action in this book.  I am far from a "young adult" but I LOVED this book!  The characters quickly became people I could care about and unlike many young adult books - the adult characters were never insipid.  The action never stopped and kept me on my toes.  I had to stay up reading until 3am - and could barely put the book down.  It's a fantastically written book, with scenes written beautifully.In my head, I was there seeing and feeling what the characters were seeing and feeling.  The twists and turns assured me that I never got bored or knew ahead where the author was leading me.  The fantasy never got to where it was unreal or unbelievable - and that's a fine line many authors haven't been able to find.  This novel has fantasy, romance, action and adventure all wrapped up in a very skillfully written story.Colee Firman wrote this first in the series very well, and pulled me right in and never let me go to the very last word.  I don't think my kindle ever shut down until I had to stop and sleep, and then quickly after waking I was back into the story until I finished it.  Within 2 minutes of finishing the novel - I'd purchased the 2nd book in the series!  There are only a few authors who grab me that strongly- and she's now on my must read list.Ms. Firman - you have a winner!  Thank you for a really enjoyable read.  Now I'm off to start book 2!!
