Shelby Mahurin’s writing style in this book will be one of my all-time favorites. Although this book had a mediocre and slightly confusing beginning, she brought her characters to life with her exotic imagery. Her situations were well thought out and fit into the plot and the characters’ style perfectly. Even though this is a fantasy novel, her characters seemed so real to me. When I was reading the book, I felt like I was an invisible person in their world watching them silently. I loved every sentence in the book and the way it spoke to me.

Michal’s personality is one thing I will never forget. Although, From Celie’s point of view, he seemed crazy, cruel, and had all the attributes that a villain ought to have, he was still a good person. I especially noticed that he cared about Dimitri and his sister. In fact, one of the main reasons he was searching for Celie was because of the need to talk to his sister. His personality was very touching, but also painful to read about. In some moments, he would act contradictory to his usual self and that made me confused. Overall, Michal’s personality is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
