I am glad that it is included in the book's description so I knew not to request it. After reading your review, I think I made the right decision. I do like YA fantasy but I am picky about what I read in that genre especially.<br /><br />Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-11523331979145098002014-02-08T08:09:35.839-08:002014-02-08T08:09:35.839-08:00I have been a little curious about this one, I'...I have been a little curious about this one, I'm still not so sure if this something that I would really enjoy.

But I do not think this book would be for me at all. I HATE love triangles more than anything, hih.
