This book was really good it was different from anything I have read in awhile. I really loved the characters especially Nedra and Grey I liked the slowly developed romance and the fact Nedra would do anything to help people. I really loved Nedra for many reasons for one she was a down to earth relate able character I loved her determination to do what is right and to save people rather than letting the die. I really loved Grey for his understanding of Nedra and by the end you can really tell just how much he cares for her. I loved the plot it starts with Nedra going to a college for Alchemy and ends up being her trying to stop a plague finding a little love along the way. So overall I loved this book will read the sequel soon.
