I'm a big fan of Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series, so I was curious to try this out, but wasn't expecting to enjoy it all that much because I'm not much of a YA reader.

Really enjoyed it - it's Armstrong without a lot of the sexual/violent undertones her other work usually has, but it's told well enough that you don't really miss that content not being there, and the main character of Chloe can easily stand alongside Armstrong's other female protagonists.

The ending's a cliffhanger, which always bugs me when books are in a series, but that is all the rage for YA novels, so it's understandable that she chose to go that route.
