I enjoyed the storyline. Iris is like orphan Annie meets Aladdin character. She is taken from humble beginnings and thrust into a world she never thought possible. Her character growth and acceptance of her circumstances make sense for the plot. It is easy to root for her, and you accept that she is a teenager coming into her own without feeling like she's being petulant or whiney. The dynamics of the shifter clans and the hierarchy are interesting and I liked the way they were explained at the start of each chapter. Some of the descriptive adjectives are a bit repetitive. It detracts from the flow of the book when it feels like you're reading the same sentences over again halfway down the page. There are still some spelling and grammar mistakes sprinkled throughout the book. I can't decide if I wanted more chapters about Kenzo, or less. Maybe more about him sprinkled through chapters in breaks and asides instead of the few dedicated chapters he had. I honestly thought he was going to be a bigger part of the story since he was the first character we were introduced to.
