Personally, I did not like this book at all. At first, in Skin Hunger, I was like, okay, Sadima has found true love. But she is constantly thinking of only herself and Franklin, and it pisses me off. She has no care for others. Somiss obviously dislikes her greatly, and it shows. Also what the he...

She is gentle and mild. I think she would let me go back out into the sunshine if she could. I don’t know where their lead mare is, but the older male who comes sometimes is cruel. Perhaps he has driven away most of his herd. Monday morning I woke long before dawn and lay in my pantry, unhappy, t...
“There is no reason for you to go,” Ruth was saying. “None.” “He is my grandson!” “I know that!” Ruth said. “And that’s why you should stay here, so in case things go wrong, you can help him later.

He took her hand in farewell and flashed her another grin. “I am Lord Irmaedith now,” he whispered, “but my name is Seth.” He bowed. “Good-bye, Heart. Travel safely.” Then he sprang back over the gate, and she heard him murmur to the guards. “Good-bye,” Heart whispered. It was strange leaving the...
Once everyone was moving steadily through the trees, Alida went to walk beside her. “Are you all right?” her mother asked. “I’m a little scared,” Alida said. “Why would old Lord Dunraven make such a terrible law?” Her mother shrugged. “Your aunt Clare always says he thought daydreaming about magi...
