Just finished this and starting on the second. I'm enjoying the storyline, it's different and keeps you guessing a bit. The romance is pretty much "G" which I appreciate - especially since it's a YA series.I have only two minor annoyances with the book: First, I feel like I'm reading a young girl's diary or journal, sans any editing efforts. I don't believe the word "want" is ever used - everything is "wanna" -- I may be exaggerating, but that's the feeling you get whilst reading! Second, the author uses italics for emphasis - which I may not have taken issue with except for them being used repeatedly and for words that don't seem to need emphasis. It makes for a very awkward read, especially if you, like me, keep trying to emphasize the italicized words as you read. I find myself re-reading sections trying to understand the context.Overall worth the time if you enjoy clean YA fantasy.
