I found this prequel absolutely wonderful.  Aly is a very lovable character.  An underdog to the fullest.  Grey is a great character as well but we know he's hiding something - but what?  This was a super fast read that layed out the foundation for what I believe will be a phenomenal book.  The plot is interesting with plenty of politics and betrayal.  The magic system is superb.  The pacing was fast, I couldn't put it down.  Can't wait to read the next one!!
