I love this book. The world building is so detailed and vivid. The prose is beautiful and complex in a way that I don't often see in YA. I personally like fantasy romance that blends and adventurous plot with the romantic elements and I thought that this book did a wonderful job. My only disappointment is that I can't find more similar books with this level of quality!
