Hello everyone, I'm new to this and I just finished Shadow's claim. 
 And let me tell you something, I really loved this one. And there's more reasons for that. 
 First, I love the writing. Everything Kresley writes is awesome but this one's special to me. It got a place in my shelve immediately. 
 For the ones who don't know this, Daci really existed ( until 1900 years ago) and every since I got the first gimps in the Immortals after dark, I wanted to read more of them. I loved how it started, but still hope for more and more in the next books. 
 Now, the bad part. 
 Ok, so the story was good. I love it. I enjoyed the ride, but something really bothered me along the way. And that was the language of the Daci. As you can guess already, it's a dead language, but Kresley Cole found something from the Dacian legacy to use. Romanian language, because the Romania we know today is the place where once Dacia was. 
 The language is not the same, but still was something. 
 And yet, she chopped everything on the way. 
 Well, I don't know how she made the research, if she did any, but all the sentences are wrong spelled. ( maybe like my English is, but I'm not posting this in a book). "Zeii mea" is something like ... she man. Zeii= gods ( masculine) mea ( it's mine but, feminine). It sounded so strange to read. 
 " Draga mea" it's also wrong spelled because in the book, the word draga appears with a little sign above the last a. And it's wrong. The right way was exactly like this, " Draga mea" which means " my darling". 
 In the end it's represent nothing for somebody who doesn't know Romanian, but it bothers me because it's my language and I'm sad to see it chopped away in a book. Especially since we are talking about a New York Times bestseller author. 
 I hope that for the next book, Ms. Cole does a better job and ask some help from a Romanian. Or at least somebody who talk the Romanian language. 
 It will be a shame to kill the spirit of this book like that.
