The first half of the book caught me for long hours - the world building was stunningly detailed and relationships between the characters complicated. But after characters had arrived to Corena and reversed "cleaning" ritual, the whole plot was brought to silly intrigue to induct Liams jealousy in order to prove to him that he is in love. I was more intrigued about Deseems father - what he did after the wedding, or how his brother and uncle coped during the rebel or how Deseem will cope with his new powers - so I was reading and hoping fore more.
