This book pulled me into the depth of its pages and kept me hanging on edge with every single word. In the long emptiness of being stuck at home during winter break, getting to read this book and join the journey of Neach is the only thing that helped keep me going. I would just close my eyes and feel myself lost in the Forest of Light, riding the wind on the back of Rine, or crossing the sea with the painted sunset shining warmth to my back.



After reading this book, you will not be able to think of change as simply black or white. You will be stuck in the gray and be forced to understand the reality of revolution and how ugly it can be. You will see that the truth is sometimes fuzzy, that lies will drip sentences of those whom we trust the most, and that the line between good and bad will never really be clear.



This book was extremely enjoyable and I personally cannot wait for the sequel and see where the journey will take Neach next.
