This book was a really great read from start to finish with a great story and characters it moved along at a wonderful pace looking forward to reading the sequel. The characters were well written I especially loved Valeria a strong yet damaged character I like that she can learn from mistakes and be venerable in many situations. I loved the other characters especially Alik he added much to the story one another motivation to set rid of the tyrant that is causes so much strife and to finally actualize Valeria's feelings for him. I loved the plot it starts by telling of a sudden freeze that lost Valeria her family among other things she now has to hide from the tyrant she finds out things and that someone she cares about is still alive when she thought him dead so she goes to where he is and head back to the place where it all happened finds out many things and is determined to end the tyrant once and for all.
