This book was brilliant. I loved every part of it - but I do understand the negative ratings because if you think this book is about assassins and a lot of fighting then this book will let you down. I mean I am one of the biggest fans of love story's and romance so that is why it didn't let me down. 
 I found the story captivating and so well written. The characters are great and I am excited to read more about them. It was a fantastic first book of the series!!!
