OH MY GOD!!!! This was incredibly good. There were moments of devastation, gut-rolling humor, and mushy romance. I think Kenyon was able to take the story and a family of characters where she couldn't really with the Dark-Hunter series. The scenes with the older characters were just absolutely priceless.
I wasn't too sure about Zarya at first because she wasn't a very good leader in the beginning but she more than made up for it later on. Darling reminded me a lot of Acheron without the crazy godlike powers. I love the darkness in Darling.
Maris, Darling's best friend who was in love with him since they met in preschool, stole the show with his strength, humor, and compassion. I especially loved that he could act like a queen but be a skilled soldier as well.
I completely neglected my real life and did my best to read this in one sitting and it's a pretty big book. I was just so hooked after the first two chapters. Definitely read a few books in the series first so you can appreicate the characters. Such an amazing read!

Some of the previous League novels have been lacking, in my opinion, and nowhere near as good as Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series. However, this book makes up for the previous lack in a big way.
I am a sucker for a scarred character--physically or emotionally. Darling Cruel has both in abundance, and he is a great character. I'm glad to see someone with such flaws find love and redemption.
Darling's best friend Maris is everything a best friend should be, and I'm glad to see him find happiness in the end as well. I would have loved it if Maris had been given his own book, but so many mainstream authors avoid gay romance--truly a shame.
Overall, a very good book, and one I recommend if you like flawed men!
