Somehow this beautiful world is weaved and you can't help but fall in love with Ismae and her discovery of herself and her world. I am enthralled with this author's ability to make me care about such characters and can't wait to read more.<br /><a href="http://www.engelseattledivorceattorneys.com" rel="nofollow">Divorce Lawyer Seattle Information</a>Hyacinth Mariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544758136198279015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-70169224310135361912012-07-06T11:44:26.600-05:002012-07-06T11:44:26.600-05:00Beautiful review, Alison!

You hit on all the right points I would want to know about if I hadn't read this already, but since I have read it, I loved nodding along with all your points. LOVE this review!! <br /><br />"My favorite scenes were when he spent the night in Isame's room - but not in the way you'd expect."<br /><br />YES!

She really didn't get how cool it sounds. But hopefully she will once she's read it. Perhaps I should point her to your review because you summed up how awesome this book was exactly! Ismae, Duval, the tension and banter, the intrigue and fighting. So good! I'm a bit bummed that the sequel won't be following Ismae and Duval's story again because I fell so in love with them, but I'm also super excited for Sybella's side of the story!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-89634811535776487782012-07-01T01:54:13.656-05:002012-07-01T01:54:13.656-05:00I couldn't agree more with you.

You're right about the fact that Duval actually trusts Ismae's abilities and intelligence, ang that this doesn't happen very often, it had totally slipped my mind. And I really loved the quote you picked. =)The Book Roguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194437325351756798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-64180315135076225652012-06-30T15:15:51.542-05:002012-06-30T15:15:51.542-05:00Hahaha Now I've gotta get this book just to te...Hahaha Now I've gotta get this book just to tell my friends I'm reading about "assassin nuns."

Unlike this it wouldn't comprise the entire story--more of a side plot--but I've been toying with it so I have to read this and see how it's handled.
