This book stayed on my back burner for a little bit because of the annoying tendancy to go from third person limited to first person. The story line is third person, but she adds the perspective of others, not plot related, in first person. I get what she has done here. It is like the six degrees of seperation. Everyone the main characters touch adds a piece to the story and depth. Still, it irked me, since it was not necessary most of the time and I could have done without it completely.
Nevertheless, the actual storyline is intriguing. She has done some great world building here, with excellent history and culture. The characters themselves and their story is captivating, which means there is a possibility I will read the next one.

I promise - there's a reason for all those first person narratives which will be revealed in the third book!
lol! I don't think I quite expected a reply directly! I did not want to say anything about the ending, but it does end with quite the cliff hanger... I felt like I had just gotten know the motivations of the chacters as they are drawn in by this unseen force of destiny... and now I have to buy the next book to get into the meat of the storyline. I must say that I love the flavor of history you have put into this work, it really drew me in.
