The author is English and uses the UK spelling for many words. She's amazingly talented.I will read the third book because I really do like the characters and the story line. Like I said, the author writes a kick ass story. If you're tired of insta-love scenarios, this may not be the book for you. This book would definitely work for people who love that type of setup (and I know there are many who do). I think the story would have been better for it.Do I recommend this book? Yes, I recommend this book and the first one if you are into insta-love, magical bonds, overwhelming unrealistic love affairs. I really wish the author had allowed her two leads to slowly fall in love and come together in a more realistic way. I could say that I love everything about this book except the insta-love magical bond. The main plot line is well-conceived and well-executed. The magical elements are very intriguing. The action scenes are easy to follow and very exciting. *facepalm*Yet.The world building is AMAZING. Which allows Breandan to reach her through their bond and empower her to fight. Yet, she just gives in to death and waits for it to happen. She's feisty, tough, and a born leader (whether she realizes it or not). Nothing about this girl has ever shown her to be a quitter. There were even times when I felt the character was sacrificed so that the bond could be stressed.For instance, Rae is fighting for her life and suddenly gives up. The bond actually cripples Rae as a character, which was very distressing. This one aspect of the story just wore me down and made it hard for me to keep reading. I also tired of this bond being shoved down our throats constantly. The second they touched she was bonded to him and would never be able to choose to love someone else.

more it has already been established that this is not the case. Even though at one point Rae argues that she chooses Breandan of her own free will.

A love that if not satisfied has the power to literally destroy everything and everyone nearby when the lovers are reunited. Now I understand that some readers may love the idea of an intense magical love that is foisted onto the lead characters. And that is the magical bond that Rae shares with Breandan. I'm really impressed with her imagination, her descriptive power, and her ability to create truly engaging characters.Yet, there is one thing that just made this book extremely difficult to get through.

Review 1: This is a difficult review to write because all in all I really do think Penelope Fletcher is an AMAZING writer.
