Given that this is a YA how do you think it compares to Twilight saga? I love the quote you chose, I almost picked that one for my review. As for your comment on how Irial had sex with Leslie with her out of her mind and how that should have been addressed - well the whole relationship between Irial and Leslie is one where there was no consent whatsover - worse than the sex was the Ink Exchange in my opinion - she was stripped of any choice and this is why that relationship was so disgusting and disturbing. Having said that, it all the more powerful that Leslie fought it and that Irial was changed by HER as well. Such an amazing book. You liked it then?
