I liked this book very much. I thought the integration of society romance and fantasy was very well done. There were a lot of deep undercurrents to the story, and although the main conflict is successfully resolved, there is a sense that possible sequels would have plenty of territory to cover. Even though the first third seems predictable, it is very enjoyable, and then, bang, what you predicted is turned on its head. :) I love fantasy, but the pseudo-medieval/anarchy-ridden worlds it's usually set in get boring. I enjoy prim, proper romances, but nothing ever happens in them. This book is truly the best of both worlds.
