Such a good read! Gwenevere easily became my favorite heroine of all times. She's so sarcastic yet strong and loyal and such a fighter. She has to deal with so much yet she's un-stoppable. I loved the relationship between her and her friend Raven her fellow orphan. I love the Gothic undertones of the this book and how realistic it feels. There is nothing kiddy about this book but neither is it graphic or too dark. Such a great read. i plan on reading all six of the books right when they come out.
