Personal Thoughts

Still love it!  This is the second time I've read this novel and I still like it.  In fact, since I read the prequel, Fire also by Kristin Cashore, a lot more things fell into place about the evil king.  It's an exciting book that has fantasy, adventure, love, and intrigue throughout.
