But I love that White did that, it makes sense and really aided the story. Biggest negative for me though - the love triangle. Also, harems/babies (though historically speaking, that is a very authentic part of the book). Blergh. BUT a great story, and I must keep reading the series! :D<br /><br />Lovely review, Pili. <3<br /><br />Alyssa @ <a href="http://eaterofbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Eater of Books!</a>Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-54811810642354551902016-06-20T20:16:31.647+02:002016-06-20T20:16:31.647+02:00It's very much character driven!

I definitely hear you on the beginning being a little slow. I'm liking it but it's not totally capturing my interest. I'm just getting into the stuff with Mehmed though so I'm hoping it will pick up soon.

It was just too intense, too painful, too much! I had to take breaks often or I would have died. But Kiersten is made of magic.
