review 1: (This review may contain spoilers).I felt that this book was much better than I'd expected. The world and the characters were really interesting and well-written.I found myself able to empathise with Linnet pretty much straight away. She was an interesting, well-rounded character and I felt that her reactions to things came across as as really realistic.I particularly liked all of the culture shock going on as well. The author did a really good job of showing how different things were for Linnet. The foreshadowing worked really well, too. I thought it all worked really well.I really did like how Linnet's and Rajak's relationship developed. It came across as really easy and natural. I could really believe in it.I did like a lot of the other characters as well, but there wer... moreen't any redeeming qualities to Niro - and I find villains more interesting when they're more well-rounded.I did notice quite a few errors in the book, but they didn't really detract from the story itself. I definitely intend to check out more stories by this author in the future.
review 2: Loved this book!! I rarely give books 5 stars, but sometimes I do feel generous. This is not one of those times. This book earned every one of the 5! I purchased it because the description reminded me somewhat of the story of Ester from the Bible (which is one of my favorites). Granted, this is not a biblical telling, but there are some similarities of character. Linnet is a young, strong (in body & mind), tom-boy, yet she can still be beautiful and feminine. She gets caught up in some over-whelming circumstances and the writer does an incredible job in allowing us to experience those things with her. I felt her anger, fear, courage, helplessness, uncertainty, sadness, jealousy, joy, love, and determination! And how could any girl with any sense at all not fall in love with Rajak?!To sum it up….this was a great book with great characters written by a talented author. I absolutely had to force myself to put it down! There are several books I’ve read during which I’ve had to make myself stop reading in order to live in the real world for a while, but very few have been this difficult to put down. I couldn’t get enough and was sad when it was over! Needless to say, this one will go on my short list of books that are worth reading again. less
