In the beginning of the book, all Elissa wanted to be was normal, which I must admit found cliche. I really didn't like the story in the very beginning and didn't really understand what was wrong with Lissa. Then she met her twin and I began to like her character a whole lot better and she was shown as brave. I really like Lin's well because she's stubborn and kind of reminds me of myself. Cadan was really a jerk in the beginning ton her but I could see that he changed. I would say that I thought the romance between Cadan and Lissa was pointless to the story honestly and I would have liked it better if she got help from her brother Bruce instead of Cadan.
