It took me some time to get into this book, but once I did it was exciting. I was happily carried away into the lives of Ashra, Bazine, Krank, Rucaine, Akira and others. I wanted to know more about these characters, their world and how they would defeat their enemy. I was so enthralled with the story that when it came to the ending I was disappointed, not because the ending was bad, but because I didn't want to leave this story. There has to be a book 2, I need to know if love blossoms between Ashra and Bazine, if they defeat the Glasne, what happens on the journey to Rucaine and Akira's homeland. What about the sparks between Bisha and Rucaine? My lovely Krank needs to survive.

Some readers might wonder why I gave this 5 star since I said it took some time for me to get into the story. Well it did take some time, but once Fleuric, Krank, Shemma and Perditus step into the story the changed the atmosphere of the story. There presence in the story let you know that it was going to be exciting, that it was a more purposeful story and you will want to know what role they play in the lives of Ashra and Bazine. Stick with this story and you will not be disappointed.
