4 1/2 stars. 
 I guess it would have gotten a perfect mark if it wasn't for the slow beginning, the fact that Calla did't ask many questions to follow the Searchers and oh the fact that Andrea Cremer put Pugatory-Inferno-Paradiso in that order. Doesn't that bother anyone? If you are to use someone else work, don't spoil the spirit of it. 
 Put apart from that the plot really picked up, the pace increased (in the second part), love triangle (I guess I am sucker for them) and oh major cliffhanger. 
 I will look forward to Bloodrose.
