My Take : I loved this book..! It kept me hooked on to it till the very last page.It had a million twists and turns , different characters with rather intriguing personalities and loads of adventure.
The story starts with Tessa who arrives in England , a totally new place for her , all alone , just because her dear brother had called her. She is picked up by the dark sisters on behalf of her brother, and as the name suggests their intentions were rather dark..Tessa was abducted by them and was kept in captivity...for the Magister to marry her.
Each one of the characters is different like the always sweet Jem , or the mysterious Henry , clever and skillful Charlotte and the breathtaking Tessa, she has managed to be hopeful and i respected her for the strength she has shown...but my favorite character is Will as he is witty and sarcastic yet endearing , why he keeps a distance from everyone is a mystery to me ( which i hope to unravel in the next book ).Jem's story is rather woeful i hope a cure is found to his irremediable disease. I really hope to see Will and Tessa come together ( i really liked their pair...) ...Tessa and Will are quite well read ( another reason i liked them ) and i loved the quotations written at the beginning of every chapter. Nate's betrayal shocked me i had never imagined that he could do that to Tessa and some things weren't really clear to me at the end as the ending was rather mysterious...
Favorite Quote : "Love , hope fear , faith - these make humanity ;These are it's sign and note and character."
Ending : Rather odd , brought up a lot of questions..
Characters : Tessa , Will , Jem , Nate , Magister etc.
Favorite Character : Will , Tessa
