I really wanted to like this, but there was WAY too much lore dumped at the beginning, and so much going on that I couldn’t really follow much or like the characters, who were kind of lacking in depth. Ronan was barely developed, and the romance fell flat. 

The writing was vivid and beautiful, and the action scenes were done well. This would be ideal for fans of Tamora Pierce.
