I don't even know where to start with this. The story flows at just the right pace, you get to know the character's and their thought and dilemmas steadily without it being shoved down your throat. You really get to know the characters, the dialogue flows effortlessly. The plot's engaging, and the author doesn't tease the reader with forbidden knowlege. On another level, even if the story was terrible, I still would have finished it because of how beautifully the words were laid down. I wish I could give this six stars!
