content: Okay.I LOVE fantasy. Good ones. This isn't badly written and the world is intriguing but Meredith, you should be using your powers for good! Our heroines' skin gets LIGHTER in the sun of Solstar and therefore she is more beautiful? She is only worthy of love when she is tall, fair, blonde, and buxom? She cuts out her own heart and gives it to the vampire? Okay, what is up with that? That works? Not that I have noticed. Young girls should not be reading this. Oh sure, his ex-wives are all wraiths but I, with my superior blonde hair and light skin and big heart, will SAVE this woman strangling, soul-stealing man. Girls and women who have fallen under the spell of this book: Run! Male liars, alcoholics, and wife beaters who can suck a women's soul dry: sorry to have to tell you this but you should really save yourselves.1 extra star for the good spinning scenes and Lyon battles.
