I loved this book so much I am really looking forward to reading the sequel as soon as possible. I loved all of the characters so much especially Lu,Vex,and Ben all three of them were such well written flawed characters they all had their high and low points it's what made them so great to read about. I loved Vex for his cunning and everything in between I loved Lu for her determination and for how she handles things I really like Ben for how much he is questioning what he has grown up with and realizes just how terrible it all is. I really loved the plot it starts with some things that happened in the war that is over by the story's start which is the aftermath of that war and all of the things that came with it. I really liked how the story was weaved how something one of the characters thought she knew was a lie and how another wasn't what he seemed and how the other character was betrayed so badly that he could never trust that person again. So overall I loved this book and will be reading that sequel soon.
