Thoughts
I picked this book up as the blurb sounded quite interesting. I was quite surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this book and its characters.I found this such a quick read, and I just breezed through it so quickly. I found the story to be so well written and it just flowed so seamlessly (and with the chapters being from different perspectives), it is just a fantastic book.
I loved Cecile, I thought she was such a great character, she is thrown into this situation and manages to push through and doesn't become bigoted against this race that has essentially kidnapped her.
I also found myself loving Tristan as well, he acted like he was bigoted against Humans, but in reality, he was trying to help the half-blood trolls who are always sent into servitude of the pureblood houses.
Overall, such a fantastic book, and watch out for the review of the sequel in the series.
