This book is somewhat an anomaly among Sherrilyn Kenyon's books, at least from my perspective. While I've never found the majority of her other books interesting, this one was a gripping (and hefty) pile of paper that I wanted to reread as soon as I was finished.

It's organized into basically two sections. In the first section, set in the distant past, we see a relentlessly depressing series of events sprinkled with just enough delightful reprieve to make the lows all the worse. This is my favorite half of the book, for reasons I can't really explain.

In the second half of the book, Acheron (now nicknamed "Ash") is awesome and the rest of the book details his awesomeness in its entirety. It's fun to read.

Be warned, there is some very explicit content in this book as well. This may sound a little weird (and you probably won't understand if you haven't read it) but those scenes are some of my favorite parts in the book.

It's one of the most gripping, memorable, and fantastic books I've read in the past few years and I'd highly recommend it to anybody. It may be a 700-page monster, but I plowed through it in one day of near-constant reading and I can almost guarantee you'll do the same.
