"We are legendary bringers of death, assassins of monsters." Just wow! We are immediately immersed into the life of Talin, a refugee warrior who kills ghosts. As you begin to learn about her and her past you can't wait to follow her through the rest of the story - relationship development with Corian, will she speak again, so many things. I also loved the way Marie Lu describes the world, the characters, and the ghosts. It's very visual and I can picture it in my mind as I'm reading.
I also LOVED the cover. They say not to judge a book by it's cover, but if I saw this on the shelf in the bookstore I would have to pick it up.
