hills into 1. The characters are multidimensional. There is growth as each of the narrators struggle with their own secrets. The ending was not at all expected. I can't wait for the next book in the series. 30:T5a6,Lets just say that I started out with a synopsis that I wasn't really into only to get lost hours later in another world. Rebecca Ross has such a beautiful writing style. I got so caught up in the emotion and characters that I didn't know where I was from time to time.

I have read two YA fantasy by Ross so I was intrigued when she came out with an adult fantasy. I quite enjoyed the map and how Rebecca wove a rich tapestry of Celtic lore. Each spirit whether aiding or opposing had many unique magics. Sometimes the land would fold in on itself or the winds would torrent in anger.

The subtle romances is what hooked me I will admit. There were beginnings of love admits an old marrage. Torino and Sidra complexity was breathtaking and the honesty brought forth, staggering. There was sacrifice, heartache, and truthfulness. It all had my throat closing up with grief.

The division between the East and the West was very interesting and balanced. Though I will complain about how we never got to see into the West. Still there was probably a reason for that and I'm positive it will get cleared up in book 2. So I was completely shocked how fast I fell for this unique story and I'm very much looking forward to the next one.
