I hate this book. 
 I absolutely positively hate this book. 
 Other than the plot being ever so dull, the main character is extremely depressing. I do understand the horrible childhood that she went through, but that does not excuse the murderous thoughts that she usually has. The only person to blame for her personality is her father, but she blames absolutely everyone she comes into contact with. Her character is very weak; she seems to be scared of everything in front of her. She also makes very stupid decisions. She did not need to tell Taren everything. She could have gone to Enzo immediately. Yet she chose the stupid path. 
 The story itself had a lot of interesting items that the author could have written more about, instead of just letting them hang. I still don't understand why only children were affected by the blood fever. I don't even understand how the fever came to be. The author has also copied a lot of elements off Game of Thrones, which didn't impress me. Overall the story was EXTREMELY depressing.
