 Ughhhh this was everything I wanted! This was so much better than Lair of Dreams, and maybe even The Diviners! This also got way more emotional than I thought it would, and has a lot more triggers than others.  I cant wait to read the next book even tho I heard it sucks. There's so many things that I need cleared up, and that cliffhanger!
