This is one of the most beautiful, heartfelt, poetic books I've ever read. Laini Taylor is an incredible author! I was endeared to the characters and story from the very first page, and all throughout I felt utterly enchanted by the magical, beautiful world. 
 My only complaint, I guess, is THAT ENDING... how am I supposed to wait for a conclusion to this??? 
 I'm grabbing the second book in this duology AS SOON as it comes out.
