I love this book; it's just really telling that it took me a while to read it because I dislike Wren Natsworthy so damn much as a character. The fact that she managed to evoke such a strong response in me speaks volumes to Reeve's ability as a writer. I really enjoyed the plot, I really enjoyed everyone else, I'm starting the next book right now - but oh dear god Wren pleaseshutupugh.
