Why did I wait so long to read this book? OMG! I want to go kick past me for putting it off for so long. I loved everything about this book! The romance! The nonmagical fantasy world! The family relationships! The politics! Everything about this book was my own personal brand of catnip! I'm so glad there is a sequel so I can get more of Ren and Arman in my life! Also, I need books about several side characters ASAP!
