First of all, I love the cover art on this book!  It is outstanding.Second of all, I throughly enjoyed this book. Roth's character is the strong alpha male type.  He is physically strong with lots of wonderful 'protective' qualities.  He wants nothing more than to be a Shapeling Master. But at the same time you get the sense he is trying to protect his heart.  Now Rainey, she is a total rich kid, silver spoon, and all that, and smart to boot. But none of this gives her what she really wants which is freedom to just "be".As I read, I thought I knew what to expect.  I thought I had it all figured out.  I can't say what I mean without ruining the mystery but the closer I got to the end the more I felt like I was reading a Sherlock Holmes novel! No way could I have figured out the ending without the author just laying it out for me.  It took my by complete surprise.All I have to say is I can't wait to see what happens in book number two.  Thanks Verna Clay for a great read!
