This book was and wasn't what I expected it to be (if that makes sense). I loved this book and couldn't put it down. The reason it doesn't have a five star rating from me is that at first it was a bit confusing. There is still one part I'm confused by but I can't get into it without giving an awesome part of this story away.
I love Buckhanon's writing! It's beautiful and the kind you want to take your time with. It's not long winded descriptions which I absolutely can't stand, it's almost like poetry at some parts. I can't say enough good things about this book! Just go read it, you wont regret it!
