I really loved this story about a young girl who goes on a journey with her guardian to see the world, a world which is not so 'open-minded' as she expected. Together with Noel, she meets new people, learns new customs and develops a relationship with her guardian. The concept of the guardians is very clever and believable and the conflict about what perception is right or wrong keeps the story interesting. It is almost a shame it ended so quickly, I wanted to learn more about the events in the past and the world outside Rust.

I recommend it to fantasy-fans who want a break from the typical fast action, romances and abundant magic. This book will keep you entertained from beginning to end. ( )
