As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight - but she doesn't - and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighboring kingdom - to a prince she has never met. I think the science-y medical and ethical issues in the plot kept me away from The Adoration of Jenna Fox initially, but having taken a glimpse at the synopsis again, I can't really say exactly why. She's had time to chew the situation over for a while and decides that since her parents don't give a damn about what she wants, the only sensible thing to do is make a run for it. I've read some real duds lately, but I think I'm finally out of that rut, thank goodness, thanks to books like these. We've got corrupt advisers to the monarch, a foreign, misunderstood queen who keeps IMPORTANT secrets from her daughter, gypsy caravans, a too-young soldier who bonds with his captive, a grizzled, veteran mentor, etc.

I have to wonder as to the state of mind of that particular reviewer when they read it and reviewed it. She flirts with one trying to anger the other, almost throws a fit when the other doesn't seem to care. Anyway, despite not overly enjoying this, I will still continue on with the trilogy because I'm really interested to see where this will go. were interesting and they were absolutely necessary to the whole world building thing, especially if you consider how much stories and ancient mysteries are important to the plot.She settles into a new life, hopeful when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive--and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her.

I was a bit heated while I wrote it and tried to go back after a time and pare it down a bit so as not to offend. Her character was strong to begin with, but I appreciated that her growth happened in a natural flow throughout the book.

If she really is smarter than everyone in the castle as she likes to claim, I must say that Morrighan is really doomed. He immediately decides to hit the road by himself to spend days tracking the aforementioned runway bride who he did NOT want to marry in the first place.

I can't recommend it enough, and I'm actually already considering a re-read, if that tells you anything about my adoration for this book. Deception abounds, and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets--even as she finds herself falling in love.The goods do not need to be in their original packaging however in a sellable condition, and at your own cost and risk. Even though there are a few times when her whole "which mysterious boy should I choose" thing gets a little overdone I can still stand behind her.
