thysparklyreads's review against another edition

4.5

This was a really good one. I'm not sure how to compare it to the others in the chronicles because it's so different but maybe that's one of the reasons why I enjoyed it so?
It's one of those books that really picks up towards the end and it drags quite a bit at the beginning but other than that I have no complaints. 
I really liked all of the characters we were introduced to and their stories so I'm looking forward to the next book.

Women's rights and wrongs but has Akasha ever been right?
