Actual Rating: 4.5

I absolutely loved this book!

While reading it between classes, my friends would ask me what exactly I was reading. Upon telling them the premise of the book, they found it kind of strange. If you were to tell someone you were reading a book about a girl who was raised by part-human-part-animal monsters, they should think it strange. If they were actually to read the book though, I'm sure it would make all the sense in the world.

I loved the characters, and found myself becoming extremely invested in them. I loved the way it was told, how it went back and forth between characters and even periods of time in such an effective way; it wasn't confusing, but, instead, was really able to contribute to the story well.

It has a lot of romance, but, at the same time, we know that isn't the main point; instead, it's a book that makes you really rethink your ideas of war, peace and enemies.

I can't wait to read the sequel! :D
