I believe the author said somewhere no love triangle, so that's good, but with a long ass series I'm going to first need to know if these two reunite in book 2 or not. Fingers crossed. :P<br />Glad you enjoyed this, Alyssa!

I had some major issues with it and, unless they did some SERIOUS editing between the hardcover and paperback releases that made it worlds better, I probably won't be continuing the series.

You're going <i>there</i>?!<br /><br />But then I read some reviews and the ones I read were all pretty positive! And then I found it at TJMaxx for $7 and thought, let's do this thing! And now, it sits in my TBR mountain! I have yet to get to it, but based on your reaction to the ending I am glad I've waited to read it!<br /><br />Too many times I read a book with just a few weeks or months until the next one releases and the wait is killer! Of course after another 2 books or so, I kind of forget how intensely I was waiting...until I get back to the book once it releases and think...bliss!<br /><br />Great review! Cannot wait to read this one and will try to remember it takes awhile to pick up!

I like it when the author tries to create something original and Samantha Shannon seems to be putting a lot of effort into her books. Like you mentioned, I heard from a lot of people that it is rather difficult to get into it but since the premise sounds so interesting and you liked it, I will definitely pick up a copy soon! Especially since the sequel is coming out soon, too.
