Someone should give Corrick a big hug, because he's so misunderstood by the people around him, it was sad to read.
He was definitely the best part of the book, he's still so interesting.

Haristan ! His part of the story really surprised me, I'm so excited to see more of him in the third book.
Seeing more of his relationship with his brother was really sweet.

Tessa... for me, she was the downside of the book. I found her so annoying sometimes, and so naïve that I wonder how she survived up to that point.
The kind of love triangle was also annoying, because 99% of the things surrounding it where so obvious, and I don't understand how Tessa fell for it. (I also generally despise love triangles)
