I have one thing to say... Found Family.
Also Mental Health and Friendship. 
Okay, that's three things. 

This book CURED my book slump. I found the writing easy to follow, and the characters are easy to tell apart since they have distinct personalities.

Though, I feel as tho Rion isn't as developed as the rest of the characters. I suppose the Author hid some of his actions because of his relationship with the Wolf Queen. I still loved him, yes, but I would have wanted to see more of him.

On the tag of the book, it said that it was Slow-paced but I didn't particularly find it slow. I finished it in less than a day. 
 
The ending of this book. omg. I did not FUCKING SEE THAT HOLY SHIT THE PLOT TWIST??!?! TO DIE FOOOOOR
THE ENDING WAS CRAFTED SO WELL I COULD HARDY SEE THE WORDS DUE TO ALL THE TEARS MWAH MWAH MWAH

I can't exactly rate this book yet since I feel that I'm not in the right mind to rate it yet. (in a book hangover due to all the crying I did) But I highly recommend this book. Especially If you're looking for escapism (so did they), and a friendship/Family to fall for. 

+I recommend Listening to "Keep Holding on" From Glee in the Climax. (From the title of the song you should know I'm referring to), Also "Somewhere Only We Know" is Also from Glee (I just prefer the glee version, sue me).
