God, this book is so emotional and worth it all in the end.There were times when tears were rolling down my cheeks and my heart was beating so wildly. Many values make up this book and the entire series.Thank you Rachel for sharing such a heart wrenchingly bewitching tale with the World, Ryiah and Darren will always reside in a special place in my heart. These characters have shown me what true loyalty and love actually is, this series has shown me the World and with it all of its shades of grey but that is what makes life truly beautiful...
