This book was AWESOME! Definitely fast paced and kept me on the edge of my chair. I loved the main character, Katsa. She comes off as cold-hearted in the beginning, but then really grows on you. I LOVE Po! He is such a softie, and I enjoyed reading about him through the whole book. Definitely a great read, I am looking forward to the next book in the series, Bitterblue, to come out next year!
