This book didn't have much action. It focused mostly on how "dark" the MC was. (She thinks that she wants everyone bowing at her feet, and then later when she kills someone, she somewhat regrets it) She enjoys the "darkness" in her, but she feels bad about it. The author wanted to write about a villain; I guess she ended up writing about a semi-villain. Why? The MC doesn't justify what she does. She has guilt in her, she still does have some hope. 
 The climax, though, had a lot of tension. (view spoiler)[And it was horribly sad. (hide spoiler)] The epilogue left me curious. 
 Favorite quote: And then I realize that all I ever wanted, kindness with no strings attached, had only ever come from Violetta. 
 ^^Words of a villain, huh? :D
