This book was so amazingly addicting and I loved the characters and plot and I'm so excited to read the sequel! There isn't much romance since I thinks its more of a slow building relationship with a few more complications you'll get if you read the book. The dialogue between Penryn and Raffe was so funny and interesting to read. 
 3.5 stars 
 Along that, I was in a reading slump for half of this book and I didn't LOVE this book. Its not something that I'd rave about to my friends, but I did enjoy it. I will be picking up the next book, just not right away.
