The first thing that stood out to me about this book is how unique all of the characters are. I was completely intrigued with all the different Weilding races and their characteristics. I fell in love with the main character, Kaiya, who was loved by her father and almost hated by the rest of the people in her kingdom. She is a very strong lead to what promises to be a great series. I loved her attitude and the fact that she kicked butt in more ways than one. It was fun to see her grow throughout the course of the book.The story line was full of action, and the author has a fantastic way of describing things in such a way that you feel as if you are there along side the action. There is even a little romance. Although it isn't a major part of the story, it is mentioned and adds a little bit of spark to the story.I started reading the book very late at night (almost midnight) with the intention of reading a chapter or two before bed. I couldn't put it down! I stayed up until 2 am just to finish the book. It was completely addicting. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.I really can't recommend the book highly enough. Erica Stanciu is such a talented writer. The book was well-written and error free (a surprise for some self-pubbed authors!). I am anxious to see what else Ms. Stanciu writes in the future.
