I read this based on a glowing recommendation from a friend. She couldn't have picked a better book for me! It reads almost like historical fiction, but with accents of technology and magic. 
 The best part of it all is the heroine, Kelsea Raleigh, the Glynn Queen. She is what we all dream of being; she is kind, brave and intelligent. And she is constantly striving to be a better person. She is also fierce, beyond belief. While this is exactly what pulls me into a story, it can also be a hindrance to the story. This is where I would find fault, if I were forced to look deep into the story. Kelsea doesn't grieve when she has taken a life. It was almost casual, and I didn't feel that would be realistic. 
 SO entertaining! Highly recommend!
