** spoiler alert ** 
 This book. THIS BOOK. I just can't. I've read it several times now and I have to tell you, nothing is more of an emotional roller coaster. By all the gods in this great universe I have never wanted to have the ability to reach into a novel to suckerpunch someone more than I have with this book. It was SO realistic that it had me slapping the book onto my lap every once in a while in righteous anger for our main lady. 
 Amber is stalwart and loyal to a FAULT. I honestly couldn't believe her dogged determination to do all of the things she did. She has ranked in my top 10 main ladies, well let's be honest, she clawed her way to the top. The ability of this girl to bounce back after each knock was so astounding and what's more is that R. Lee wrote it so extraordinarily well, that it felt real. Nothing she did felt out of character. She panicked like you or me, she planned, she struggled, it was amazing. 
 Quite frankly, I got a HUGE dose of satisfaction whenever one of those a-holes who treated her like crap got picked off. It was never QUITE enough but it was something. Meoraq and Amber were so adorable. Their differences and similarities, how their relationship advanced. It was truly an amazing read. I love them both so much. Be warned however, because you WILL have rage induced moments on behalf of fictional characters.
