 I really enjoyed this book more than I anticipated. I almost didn't pre-order it! Shocking I know. The description makes Rafael sound horrid and power hungry and you wonder why on earth she'd fall for him, but he really isn't. In fact I think Rafi and his brother Dom are my two favourite characters (LOVE Rafi's name!). I thought that most of the characters were well formed, except for some of Johanna's family, but considering they were barely in the story, it's not too surprising. 
 Actually, what was nice was that, though Johanna was refereed to as beautiful once or twice she never disagreed or agreed. She was who she was and if that's what you thought about her, that was lovely but she was off to walk on her hands so see you. She knows how to deal but she also knows when she needs to accept help. She's not full of herself, conceited or insecure and fishing and it's actually quite nice to just get on with the story instead of having a character pointing out flaws and attempting to be 'relateable'. She's a long lost princess who was raised as an acrobat, relating just isn't happening. 
 Each chapter was from a different persons point of view; either Rafi, Johanna or one of the 4 Keepers. I thought this was very clever. It's not told in first person, so while you got to see a little of how they each felt or what they thought, the jumping about wasn't bothersome or annoying. Speaking of not annoying, there was no love triangle to complicate an otherwise lovely story and they actually seemed to talk to each other (or at least SOME of them did) which was also something I found refreshing as that can be used as a plot point just as frequently. 
 This was a great start to a new series, the world building was just enough to keep everything clicking along and to keep you interested and ready to pick up the next one to find out...just how they get out of that tree!
