Reviews
I feel this is a very overrated series. If Gale was a GAIL nobody would care about it. It also focused way too much on the violence.
This is a wonderful, exciting read full of suspense and will have you staying up all night reading it. I love this book. It shows me another world.
Easy read, great story. Now I have to read the next one!
Amazing story that makes you very involved in the book. Great characters.
