review 1: This one is a tough one for me to review. It took a long time for me to read it. I'm not sure it was the books fault or that I was reading other books at the same time which I don't usually do. Anyway, I did enjoy the story. The world building was done exceptionally well and I could visualize it in my mind. Everything was in place. The story idea itself was excellent and at first I couldn't put the book down. Then somewhere in the middle I got a little bored and would only read a short snippet at a time. I don't think it was the writing, this was very good, but I think the story just dragged a bit in the middle so I got bored. I tend to like fast pased edge of your seat type books. The ending picked up and again I couldn't put it down. absoutlely loved the endin... moreg including the cliffhanger, which again is something I don't usually like. I prefer my stories to be independant of the sequel, but this one was very well done. The only thing that I didn't like which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of five is that the main character was a little off. She didn't speak or act like a 17 year old girl most of the time. She seemed so grown up. This isn't a bad thing, but I would have expected more teenage angst and drama for someone so young thrust into that situation, (****spoiler alert****)especially when thrust with the idea of marriage at that age. I get the whole soul mate thing but what 17 year old from our world would be even thinking about that? Even if she says she is going to wait for a while before actually doing it.
review 2: GREAT young adult book, can't wait to finish the series! Really really liked it! Would have given it 4 1/2 stars but I keep hearing I have to save 5 stars for the next book in the series! Part fantasy, part adventure and teenage girl heroine focus similar to hunger games but totally different. Sometimes reviewing some of these young adult books before my girls do really pays off! Can't wait to read the next one, but I have to read my book club book first! AND it's only $2.99 on kindle! less

Young adult and pretty sappy romance but the story itself is interesting.
