The story develops in a good rhythm; secrets are revealed at a proper time without disturbing the pace of the story; it keeps you interested in the book. Each chapter has new information what turns the story interesting and keeps it moving forward.
Arud has a task, to take his sister Lykke to Vithalia City before the next full moon; it´s a long and dangerous trip. Considering the fact that he doesn´t know why he´s doing it and what he´s family is, it seems to become an impossible mission. So many things happen during their journey that you believe they won´t make it.
The book is full of action and unexpected events, you don´t have time to relax and take a deep breath because there´s always something new happening.
Some events are predictable, but it doesn´t spoil the surprise; there are always new elements.
When other characters cross Arud and Lykke´s path, a tense atmosphere involves you. Are they trustworthy? You´ll see that even the reliable ones have a dark side and hidden interests.
In the middle of all of that, Arud has to understand what is happening to him. His body is changing, as well his sister´s body and it scares the hell out of him. He needs answers, but can he trust the ones that are around him and seem to know more about his story than him?
An unexpected ending. I confess that I was expecting a different ending. I thought that things that happened in the first book would happen only in the second or third one. However, it isn´t a bad thing; on the contrary, I´m more curious about the story. ( )
