It wasn't boring or dull but it wasn't "good" either.What I liked/loved:SaraiKellasDannarahthe Reeves and EaglesDifferent creatures/cultures/peoples of the HundredWhat bothered me/didn't like:The time jump from when Kellas

I don't know what to say. Review to come.
I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to reading book two. The only reason that I can't give this five stars is that it took about 150 pages for me to start loving the story, but it will still go on my favorite reads list because when it grabbed me it kept me wrapped up until the very last page.
