"I think this is an excellent book, well worth a reader's time. It has romance, adventure, derring-do, and lots of really good guys and some really bad guys, too. This book reminded me a little of an old movie, "The Prisoner of Zenda." It had lots of the same kind of action, but it had a much different type ending. This one ended rather well, as a whole. I liked the fact that the main character was a strong-minded young woman, who fought to save herself, as well as people she cared about, even those she didn't even know. I didn't like the fact that the story left strings hanging, but hopefully, they will be tied up in the next books. THERE WILL BE A NEXT BOOK, WON'T THERE? Which leads to the bad part. This author is evidently a fairly new writer, because I found no other books listed for her. I hope she keeps writing, because she has the skill to draw the reader into different worlds and make them want to stay, and find out what happens next. I really don't give out that many 5 star reviews, but A.J. Parks deserves one for this tale! I find it hard to believe this is her first book, it is so well done. Thank you so much, Ms. Park!"
