this story was a good start to a series. It was a little slow at times. And Miranda is pretty clueless. I pretty much love Deacon also Lane.
I look forward to the next in the series.

When I spot free books on my nook, I'm not expecting much but I was greatly surprised by this book. The faults:It is lacking an intensity and urgency on the antagonist side of things though. I don't really see a definite villain to our hero. This is a trilogy though, so I might find it in the next one. Also, the lack of actual chapter breaks is a little annoying. It makes it feel like the story is being told all in one breath.The good stuff:The characters are what carries this book. I was sucked into this book and couldn't wait to read the next part every time I put it down, which was nice. The descriptions and time taken to develop the character and her abilities is nice. She doesn't just suddenly have all this knowledge and power, she has to earn it through hard work. I wish that the legend that the book is based around had been presented at the beginning of the book, so that I had some idea of why the main character mixes it up. I'm glad I came across this book though, and hope that my friends will take a chance on it as well.

There's nothing really new about this book, it's the classic main character who is very good at magic has to fight the Big Evil that's tearing the forever-in-a-war-world apart. That said, it's a fun read and while I didn't feel emotionally attached to any of the characters, I liked reading about them.

Not bad, but not good either, it just didn't quite quite grab me. The writing style was not my cup of tea, I failed to connect with the characters, I failed to dive into the story, and most of the time I felt like I was just reading a handful of short stories that had been amassed together to form a novel, but didn't quite gel. It was really not my thing

I read this book some time ago and only mildly recollect it. I *think* I read the sequels as well but, again, I don't really remember.

I know this review seems unhelpful but it really showcases how unmemorable it really is. I don't remember if I liked it, I don't think I hated it either so it's getting 3 stars from me.
