Well...

The Cover is absolutely stunning and beautifully breathtaking – but does it serve the story? Not really. It does fit perfectly overall, and I wouldn’t know how to do it differently, but the illustration simply promises too much.

The story itself is quite interesting I’d say. I loved the mystery about the village Lourka, up above the hills, and the magic that surrounds the wrinkled land, but that’s quite it.

The characters are totally nerve-taking and annoying. Everyone seemed so dumb in this and every time someone opened their mouth (except the protagonist and a few other people), I wondered if they all even have a brain.

The ending made me tear up a bit (in a good way) and I’m excited to read book 5.
However, I’d really like if Jennifer Estep doesn’t summarize every previous book and sometimes even previous chapters in the same book. I do not suffer from amnesia, but sometimes feel like the author thinks I do. Oh, well...
