Beautiful, mysterious, appealing cover to draw in the reader. Shadow is a strong character with lots of spirit and determination; she will fight tooth and nails to find her way. It will be fun to watch as she discovers her world is not at all what she thinks. The plot descriptions give enough detail to help the reader feel they are a close observer without being too cumbersome. Hints of the Caledon character are enticing--will this character live up to all the expectations?
The prologue offers a illuminating glimpse of the characters, brief history of the kingdom and an intriguing vow that ensures there will be consequences in the future.This book has similarities to many other YA fantasy, yet has enough differences that teens will devour it.
