I was so hooked on this. The whole premise is that there are two girls, one in the past, one 1000 years in the future, and they're clearly entwined somehow (okay, they're obviously related, crazy obviously) but we get to watch their stories play out and find out their fates. What I thought was great was how I totally was engrossed in one girl and loved her and her spunk, while the other one I could not care less about, and then had my opinions flip flop as I'm reading. And I know that's what was supposed to happen, but it's always fun when you realize it was written that way to sway your emotions, and I just love that about writers, because I surely could never accomplish such a thing, and Legrand did a great job. I'm really excited for book #2!
