A really interesting and intriguing book! The story could have been quite complicated with so many characters but the author did a really good job in keeping it simple and understandable! The scenes were changing but it was really easy to connect them! Crispin was a really innocent character while I hated Jasper who was full of arrogance and corruption! Callisto was really appealing and Aril was nice too! :)
