I am often intrigued by book covers, and this book certainly intrigued me by first glance, but I am not often intrigued particularly books of this genre by the opening paragraph. Often these kinds of books open with a cliché, of a dilemma, but this focuses on setting. From the very opening paragraph I knew this was a book with excellent plot development and I remained gripped until the last page of the preview. I want to read more because until I finish this book I will be intrigued to know how the plot unfolds.
