This book was so dense with fantastical creation, intrigue, terror and drama that it kept me hooked, day and night. Literally. Even when I wasn't reading it. I have had three dreams about this book because it paints such a detailed world and realistic characters that this story is so incredibly vivid, it's stuck constantly at the back of my mind. 
 I am constantly at war with myself as Blake brought each of the queens to life. Each queen has her strengths, her weaknesses, - but they each have a reason for living- and for dying. There is no clear cut right/wrong answer, and I am at a loss as I don't know who will win the throne- or who I want to win. All I know is I can not wait to read more, because my dreams have yet to pick a winner.
