** spoiler alert ** 
 As far as who should read this I would say it probably predominantly appeals to teenagers and young adults, adults might like this. It has a lot of plot going on that I really do want to see what it leads too and we were left on a very big cliffhanger so yeah I can't wait until July. 
 Okay so there were parts of this story where I friggin' hated it, sort of liked it, loved it, and was like when is this over already. The parts that I liked were the mystery of who's the assassin and who is the prince. It can get pretty obvious at times and then sometimes you second guess yourself. However I think after we found out who was who we could have ended there because (If you haven't read the book stop here).

 SPOILERS Kaden kidnaps Lia. This could have lead to the second book which was about the journey from being kidnapped to getting to Venda. 
 I love Kaden as a character I think he pretty much saved this book for me. Without him I would have stopped at page 300. I also really like that Lia finally learns to read the book and sort of embraces her gift. 
 Overall my favorite character was Kaden, I don't really like Lia or Rafe or the pacing but I do want to see what happens from here. If I didn't make that clear I will probably continue because I think the dragging part is over with.
