Great book and dry wit funny! What I liked: The characters! I really like Ella. She is smart, artsy, FUNNY, and has a great reason for a deeply ingrained insecurity about the large scar on her shoulder and part of her neck. She uses her hair and clothes to hide it, but none the less, it provides a barrier for her to really trust anyone in the love department. He best friends are great. Frankie…oh my goodness I SO had a friend like him in high school! I just smiled every time I read about Frankie. Sadie is awesome in her own quiet way. I’m very interested to see this girl blossom if there will be more coming from Melissa Jensen in this world? One of my LOL moments is Ella’s observation of Frankie and his brother Daniel. I enjoy Jensen’s descriptions and Ella’s voice so much: Frankie looks like he might break your heart a little. Daniel looks like he might rip it from your chest, still beating, and bite it. Of course we have Alex. The male leading character whose social status and good looks make him seem so unattainable. However, Jensen does a great job of weaving through this. I enjoy that Alex isn’t stereotypical. Edward Willing is a hoot! I will not spoil his involvement in this story. But, I really like this character too and the dynamics he presents. The romance in this book is sweet, well paced, and not once was I annoyed but it. I felt uncomfortable for a character or two sometimes, but for the scenes, that was what the author wass going for I think. What I didn’t like: I don’t like the Hannandas. You just have to read who this trio is for yourself. Ugh. Overall: I really like this book! I laughed out loud at times. I really enjoyed the voice Jensen created in this book. I would love to be friends with these guys in real life. Not the Hannandas though…they can fly away on the brooms they flew in on.

This is a pretty decent fairy tale/fantasy with a little hint of post-apocalyptic goodness going on. Elsha is a sixteen year old girl and a member of a race of people who are "Quelled" - forced to work in mines all day with little food or shelter while suffering abuse from their wealthy, spoiled overlords (the Chosen) who brand them and believe that they can't speak and don't have any intelligence or souls. Elsha has always had a fiery spirit and likes to rebel. She also seems to have prophetic dreams. When she is called to be the handmaiden of the powerful Firelord - who alone is able to locate the only source of fuel on the planet, she hopes to make life better for the Quelled. Elsha's character has a quiet strength, but I wish that she had been a bit more self-sufficient in this book. She seems to go from place to place, collecting male admirers who later on line up to fight her battles for her. It would have been so much more satisfying if she had done her own fighting. It is mentioned a few times in the book that within both races (the Quelled and the Chosen) women are treated as lower than men. They are forced to wait to eat until all the men are finished, and they don't occupy any offices of rank in either society. Elsha laments this quite a few times, but she ultimately doesn't do anything to change it. With her grand (seemingly impossible) plans to change the entire way that her world operates, I would have thought that this would at least be somewhere on her list. This book is written in spare, simple words with little poetry or flowery language. It seems almost like a biblical type fable at times. It's a very quick read, and I was entertained throughout, but I never felt pulled in by it and to be honest I'll probably forget all about this book very soon.
