Wow, I really loved this book! The story was unique in its own way, and the writing was simple and clear. I just glided right through the story, honestly loving every word of it. 
 I love Yelena and Valek and even the two "protectors," Janco and Ari. I'll definitely be picking up the next in the series as soon as I can. It was just so refreshing to read something different from the usual. 
 I feel as if Yelena's story is just beginning, and I am really looking forward to what happens to her in the next book. 
 Just a good story all around. Well done, Snyder.
