I think this is one of my first proper fantasy books I've ever read and Oh. My. God. This was absolutely amazing. I would've read it quicker, but I was in a reading slump from a different book and it was the first two weeks back at school. But anyway, the whole story was amazing and shocking. The last 11 chapters were crazy and I felt so many emotions at once. I cried hysterically twice when reading this. The first time was the end of the first trial and at the end of the third trial, I was absolutely heartbroken. I do love kai and Paedyn, they are amazing. They're both so funny and brave and I feel so much empathy to them both. I'm really pissed at after waiting 432 pages THEY DID'T KISS! only brushed lips! But I just gotta wait for the second book. And the tension and banter to between them was *chef's kiss* And the plot!? I have no words. Some of my favorite scenes were; the dagger scene, Kai helping her up (interviews), them fighting each other, all the Trail's Balls, "who did this to you?", favorite color scene, her helping him with his nightmare and him braiding her hair, near kiss and Kai being drunk.
