I loved this book! Plain and simple. I really didn't expect to enjoy it so much, but it drew me in. 
 The characters were believable and so individual, as good characters should be. Even when the pace was slow, I still enjoyed the company of Silla and Nicholas. 
 Most of all, I loved that suspicion was cast everywhere, as a splash of acid, slowly eating away at even the least suspect. 
 Reality is bent. Natural laws are defied. My imagination believed every word.
