Numair has always been one of my favorite characters, so I really enjoyed reading about his past. I also really enjoyed learning more about the school and how it operates. I really look forward to the next installment to see how things turn between him and Ozorne.

I always love Pierce's style of writing- the beginning of this book I was having trouble with the pacing, but once I learned to vibe with the main character it flowed easily
