Thank you for such a great read, I can't wait to read the concluding novel!I picked this book up when it was offered free as a promotion, since it was so highly rated.  I am definitely going to finish this storyline (in 'Sulfur') and look for more to read by Arreana!The description is so easy to visualize, without being overdrawn and noting every small detail.  I have recently been enjoying epic storylines (i.e. Song of Ice & Fire, Wheel of Time), but those at times seem to take awhile for anything to happen. The author here introduces characters and just enough details to keep the story going. And the story is believable and interesting.Farro has wonderful characters with individual back-stories and issues. They make mistakes based on emotion and (sometimes false) personal beliefs. The first-person telling really keeps the intrigue going and secrets are revealed clear up to the very end, with some yet to be revealed (hopefully).The setting and 'magic system' (maybe better termed 'abilities') is different than many worlds in the fantasy genre.  It is a blend of cultures that are different than the middle-age European memes so frequently found in fantasy worlds.You should buy and read this book!
