Ratings and reviews

The book had its moments, but the ending leaves you wondering what happened next. I can't wait to read part 2

I kept getting confused with the men in the book and there was a point in the book when thorne was moria's children father. I had to go back and check the characters. Other than that everything was really good.

A lot of details were unclear, but the story did hold my attention. I really like the characters.
