I want to start off by saying that I did enjoy this book, would gladly read it all over and would definitely read a sequel.

From the back of the book, I wasn't actually sure I would get into it but I was hooked from the start.

I enjoy the character of Ash and am definitely intrigued by her sister, Eve. Their relationship is charged to say the least.

While this was a fun read that easy easy to follow and kept you wanting more, there were a few parts where i felt it let me down.

There were just moments that required more detail, more explanation and more book time but were skimmed over. One of the most important examples being when Ash finds that one of the major reasons for her ending up at the boarding school was due to a inky black creature with a blue flame for an eye that is supposed to be the cause of her race going extinct instead of a mysterious prophet with good intentions. Something like that seems to demand more book time but you hear nothing else of it beyond a few sentences early in the following chapter. Ash doesn't even tell her other godling friends the earth shaking news.

There was also a small issue Eve and other minor characters seeming to be omnipresent and omniscient. They just happen to be in the perfect place to see everything that happens at all times, magically unnoticed and has information about the main character she barely even knows yet.

Otherwise, it was a fun read, very entertaining and absolutely a page turner. The characters were interesting, the plot was fresh and more original than any I've read in a long time and the potential for the series is tremendous.
