This book dragged on way too much. You learn about Bryn's heritage but there are so many secrets and questions. I liked the characters and the plot, however I wasn't the biggest fan of Amanda's writing. This book is very different from many of her other books

The mystery in this series is what keeps me coming back. Well, that and the sorta/kinda relationship between Bryn and Ridley. I swear to beans if she ends up with someone else at the end of this series, I'll probably stop reading Hocking's novels. It's not that it's a ship I want to go down with, it's just, the only other people that are options are ludicrous. I love the views of the different tribes of trolls and all of the society stuff. That is part of my favorite thing about YA novels. There is a death in this one that I cannot emotionally handle. I can't see why it was done and if we get to the end of the last book and there's not a reason I'm going to be severely disappointed. This series is really good. I hope the things I see coming end up the way I want them too. And I want to find out who the heck the bad guys are!
