Not as exciting as I expected, given all the hype, but I did enjoy it. I loved the relationship bt Safi and Iseult (who I kept calling Izzy bc I couldn't keep saying that name, lol). Friendship is definitely key in this book and it was refreshing. When there was action and excitement, I loved it. Dennard definitely created an interesting and different kind of world and I liked the languages, names, and things she created. I will admit that I can't see why a truthwitch is all that important or valuable. I liked the other witches better and thought a lot of them had way more value than a truthwitch, but that's may be just me. There was also a good amount of humor in this book, which I really appreciated. Had it not been there, I don't think I would've liked it as much, because I would've been bored most of the time. But, Safi, I love that girl, kept things alive. 
 In any case, I liked it. I'm looking forward to the next book and I'm hoping there will be a bit more romance.
