 * I've never been into fantasy, but The Kiss of Deception was loved by so many people that I decided to give it a chance. 
 * Even though I didn't love The Kiss of Deception as much as I wanted to I'm really glad I read it. It pushed me out of my comfort zone a bit and I found myself fascinated with the world that Pearson created. 
 * Lia was easily likeable. Even when she had her moments of doubt she was still strong and wanted to do what was right for her (hence the fleeing on her wedding day) and not what was "right". She had lots of moments of promise and I can see her being completely badass in the next book. 
 * There are two boys, the Assassin and the Prince. I didn't really pick up on the fact that Pearson didn't clearly identify which boy was which until about 2/3 the way through the book, which had me totally confused. I really like that Pearson did this, though I wish I had picked up on the fact a bit earlier. 
 * Even though there are two boys, I don't really see this as a love triangle. It could turn into one of course, but right now this is more of a Twilight love triangle than a regular one. 
 * The world Pearson created is fascinating, and I really appreciated the map in the book. There is a lot of deception, by all parties, which at times made it hard to keep things clear. 
 * I thought The Kiss of Deception moved a bit slow. It took me 10 days to read it, and that's not normal for me, even being a long book. There were times that I would only read a few chapters and then set it down because it didn't get my interest. 
 Overall I enjoyed The Kiss of Deception and would recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy!
