Liked the book , great story except for the heroine, Scarlett. I could not stand her, as I read each book in series I her hated more. Hate is severe, disappointment in the character. I am on book three now and all her problems stem from her and her selfish , childish personality. The story drags on, and on. The character around Scarlett are strong, story lines good. Scarlett, the Queen, the Dark Maiden, the Wraith, trained by an assassin lord, trained for what? So frustrating to read. I will continue on and finish series, she may burst out of herself at the end, maybe. Thank God for Soran.
