i adored this book, hands down one of the best books i've read this year so far. can september come faster??? one dark throne would be appreciated at this current moment. it was so easy to fall into this new world, and in some ways other new series fall short this one makes up for all those before. Kendare did a wonderful job of creating this new world in my mind, it was easy to follow and it didnt feel like i was being thrust into something where i was to assume every detail. the three sisters each brought with them a different perspective, though if i had to pick a favourite it would certainly be Arsinoe. her part of the story was the one i kept waiting to come back again. i cant wait to see how the characters will deal with the twist discovered at the end (i had a feeling something like that would happen). overall it was an amazing read
