A compelling book, the first in a series, set in a fantasy realm with two different races of people. The heroine is strongly written from the start and sympathetic, and the author brings in numerous themes, including family secrets, political intrigue, mystical abilities, class differences, and relationship dynamics. The writing is crisp and moves along briskly. The characters are given the right amount of depth, and the book makes for a good read not just for teens, but adult readers as well.
