I was supprised. I really got sucked into this book and was sad when it was over. Great story about a young lady trying to decide if she should follow tradition or her heart. Caution to parents: there is one intense rape scene (not graphic) that does strongly affect the character's development.

Enjoyed this story very much. Very believable fantasy with a journey plot. Wonderful reminder of "self-determination" in the truest sense.
