Alexandra did amazing with this novel. The prose was unique and well described, all the characters were witty and extreamly funny (especially when North was involved :D) I ship Sydelle and North very much, and what makes it even better is that it wasn't insta-love, Alexandra gave them time to fall in love. 
 Alright, SOMETIMES!!!!! I found the book to move slowly, but there were not many of those scenes.

 Overall, this was absolutely fantastic (why a stand-alone?!)and i recommended it for everyone and anyone who likes a high fantasy romance 
 I'm going to go out on a limb and say we all do... So everybody and anybody can read this.
