I am so glad I used my points to claim this one. What a beginning! It was just SO strong and it's super fast-paced. I'm very excited that this is a duology and book 2 is set to come out only a few months after book one. I am very very excited to see where this story goes. I have very high hopes for it! I would definitely read more to see how things play out with Ning and the Shadow. The cover is stunning.
