I can't even describe how mad I am at the ending...I feel SO betrayed but I loved it regardless. Most of all though,I love jude<3. Not just love,ADORE JUDE. She is so amazingly written and so realistic as well???Cardan has nothing on her,she carried THE WHOLE BOOK. She is honestly the definition of a strong female protagonist and I love that for her. Maybe I'm a little biased because I relate to her to a whole other level...but at the end of the day she still ate and left no crumbs. The writing is excellent,possibly magic itself. The settings are so vividly described,the characters very complex AND multidimensional. So in conclusion..THE BOOK IS PERFECT,even better than the first in the series which is a rare phenomenon.
