My Thoughts:
This is a very dark story that takes place in a fantasy desert world with magic and war. The setting immediately pulled me in and the twists in the plot kept me reading and on the edge of my seat. The characters are complex and do a lot of growing over the course of the book. This book shows a lot about human nature by highlighting extremes. A very dark, compelling story with complex characters. I recommend, as long as you are not easily disturbed. My Rating: *****
Steam Factor: !!!
*Notes: Rape is a major theme. Violence, blood and gore. Some strong language.
