This book has an ending that will, most likely, make you want to read the next book in the series. At least, that's what happened to me, though up to that point, I'd thought I was done with this author, having grown tired of depth-less characters (most everyone is either pure good or pure evil) and very average writing (much repetitive phrasing and a limited vocabulary). Were it not for the torture and sex (the latter not vividly depicted), the writing should qualify it as a young-adult novel.

I'm definitely not in a rush to read 'Blood and Memory' (i.e. 'The Quickening, Book 2), but I can see where I may pick it up at some future point when I've nothing better to read or merely want something simple and effortless.
