Initially, I was completely sold on this book based on its description and was very excited to read it. However, the execution left me feeling somewhat underwhelmed. While I did enjoy the book, it was not something that I loved; it was more of a like, something that I could take or leave. I had read some blurbs online that made me think this would be a more spicy read, but for those who are looking for something with more heat, this book is not the right fit. The most it gets to in terms of steaminess is a fully clothed makeout session and lots of tension. The writing style is enjoyable, but it seems like it is primarily setting the stage for future books, for which there is only one sequel out right now, and not much actually happens in this one, other than the completion, and slightly getting to know the characters. Then, he grabbed the flower from Frost's hair and fed it to one of the broots, and Frost felt her heart shatter into a million little pieces."

However, as we delve more into this world and learn more how this world works and how it came to be I have a feeling this aspect is going to get stronger. I’m hoping it gets stronger. My guesses as to the continuing story arc from the ending certainly leads me down that direction but I can’t be sure until I read the next book, Thorns. I totally admired Lia and her determination to take care of siblings after her parents death no matter what the sacrifice is. She has a strength and braveness that is beyond words as she stands up for what she believes in and tries to do what she thinks is right. And I thought her siblings were great supporting characters too. Gabe: I know Gabe was a fugitive but by some motive i felt annoyed by seeing him letting Lia put her family and herself in danger so many times for him. Lia was like his “Prince Charming”, and I would like to have saw him being a little more harsh in some moments. Cole, Cole, Cole. I knew for the very beginning that he was going to give problems. Once again the ambition proves his point of no return and the “end” of the character was perfect for me. ;)Harvard's 1965 alumni directory notes that that Frost received an honorary degree there. Although he never graduated from college, Frost received over 40 honorary degrees, including from Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge universities, and became the only person to have received two honorary degrees from Dartmouth College. During his lifetime, the Robert Frost Middle School in Fairfax, Virginia, the Robert L. Frost School in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and the main library of Amherst College were named after him. The classicist Helen H. Bacon has proposed that Frost's deep knowledge of Greek and Roman classics influenced much of his work. Frost's education at Lawrence High School, Dartmouth, and Harvard "was based mainly on the classics". As examples, she links imagery and action in Frost's early poems "Birches" (1915) and "Wild Grapes" (1920) with Euripides' Bacchae. She cites certain motifs, including that of the tree bent down to earth, as evidence of his "very attentive reading of Bacchae, almost certainly in Greek". In a later poem, "One More Brevity" (1953), Bacon compares the poetic techniques used by Frost to those of Virgil in the Aeneid. She notes that "this sampling of the ways Frost drew on the literature and concepts of the Greek and Roman world at every stage of his life indicates how imbued with it he was". [45] Themes

About Lia: strong characters that put their family first are my thing. That’s why I liked Lia. Also the “I had allowed myself to feel love (…) in a way I’d once sworn to myself I never would” question is something that I personally relate and find charming to see. The transformation of Lia as a character was also amazing. So my biggest problem was with the characters. They pale somewhat in comparison with the setting...I wish that they were more...more "fleshed as characters."
