I really enjoyed this book. I have to say though that this is the first book I have come across that has an openly female/female love relationship. This is made clear from the very beginning and it may disturb some readers or parents, but it didn't bother me (please note there is nothing explicit, just strong feelings and some kisses). I enjoyed the fact that Kaede was so believable, she had normal reactions to things. There are some weird twists and the ending did seem a bit rushed and left open- maybe another book coming? I hope so! The only drawback I found was that a lot of the mystical/magical elements weren't exactly explained and some of it did need a little more filling out or detail to make the story feel complete. I also would have liked to know more about Con, he seemed to be important but yet felt as though he was just thrown in because there needed to be a king's son.
