review 1: 3.5 stars, rounded up for the love-development scenes being not horrible.The good: Very readable; the pages just flew by. In spite of being a Book One there's plenty of action along with the character development and it ends with the right sort of cliffhanger. The main characters were all very likeable.The bad: The world is a basic medieval fantasy one, no surprises there. The unique spin Mr/Ms Charles puts into the worldbuilding is in human physiology, which I find to be half unnecessary and half too unrealistic for me to settle into the standard Suspension of Disbelief that fantasy worlds require. I am disappointed that these people live hundreds of years but act no differently than your standard average-lifespan-of-maybe-50-years feudal folk. I also am apathetic? ... moreunimpressed? (at best) with the human reproduction aspect of this world, though that's a significant portion of some bits of the plot.Overall: I'd be happy to continue reading this series.
review 2: I was so excited about this novel after reading the description and obtaining it as a free nook book. I was not disappointed. Though the beginning was a bit slow to get into. Once I got a few chapters in I could not put it down. Artemi is the woman we all want to be. Throwing her attitude and independence at every man she meets, at a time when women are though of as nothing. In enters morghiad. The prince sees through to the strong woman beneath and sees what her future will entail. I loved the story. I was surprised at the ending, but I have a feeling we have not seen the end of the deep seated love that everyone holds for Artemi. I really would love to read the next novel in this series and definitely recommend reading this novel. less

2.5 stars. I found slow and long 1000 pages. I do not think I will purchase next book.

Interesting story but I found the writing inconsistent with abrupt jumps of the plot.

It started really slowly. The last 3rd of the book is the best part.
