Everyone was raving about this book and the sequels a couple years ago and for some reason I never jumped on the bandwagon. I had been meaning to read this and for some reason I just kept ... NOT. Man, no wonder everyone raved about this book. I am so eager to jump to book two but didn't want to start it while at work because I know what would happen: I would continue reading throughout the day and not get any work done.

I listened to this in audiobook form and it was very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next novel in the series.
Unrealistic childish romance. Semi-unique world related to old myths. Fluid writing style.
Blackbringer was better.
