Very well written and will leave you begging for the sequel!!
This is an amazing book...the first series I have been super excited about in a long time. The characters are very multi-dimensional with good and bad traits. You take a journey with the main character, Elloren, and see the world and other characters the way she does. The author is phenomenal at showing versus telling so you see the world that she has created and feel the history behind all of the cultures.

I have not been this excited about a series since Harry Potter. I have read this book 3 times and cannot wait until The Light Mage and The Iron Flower are available!!!

Fourth book in Rob(yn) Thurman's Cal Leandros series, I found this one to be both slower moving and harder to get into than the previous novels in the series.

This, I believe, is also the first book in which Thurman splits the narration between the two brothers: the problem with that being, as another reviewer rightly pointed out, that both brothers 'sound' exactly the same, meaning that (quite often) it's easy to get confused about who is narrating! Would have worked better if each of the brothers had their own tone more than they do, rather than sound like clones of each other (which they are emphatically described as being not) ...

This book wasn't my favourite out of the series yes it had twists and turns quite a few i saw coming , I'm not the biggest fan of viktor and i don't like elizabeth.
Viktor ok ish but beth....... iv been through crap that should have sent me more bat shit crazy than beth and yes i know "she has the crazy genes" but her character for me was flat and i just didn't like her in it. Benny was still on top form as usual. I missed jade she was my fave from the start and she kinda faded out in this book x but as a whole it was an amazing ride (the whole series )

This book started out very slow for me, I know it is introducing a new series but I didn’t expect it. However, once the first part is over, we get some good characters, who have an enemies to friends relationship (As much as one can in an Amish lifestyle). They work through a lot of hang ups and overcome obstacles from the community, family and themselves. I think this was a good start to a new series and I am excited to see what will come next from this author.
I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars for the scene created, the interesting characters, and the overall theme of faith.

Apologies for the influx in reviews but I'm bored and thinking.
 
Overall I like this series I love it in fact and couldn't put the first few books down.

But Evelyn oh, Evelyn (Sorry for possible misspellings)

The book prior to this she was cold, hard and I suppose she had reason to be.

 [bc:The Heir|22918050|The Heir (The Selection, #4)|Kiera Cass|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1422993526l/22918050._SY75_.jpg|42484814]

It was still enjoyable.

This book was even more so at first.

But the twist near the end really tore me from this beautifully constructed, utterly engaging world.

I think I prefer America's journey to hers but I still recommend the series
