A fantasy worth a read. It actually made me cry and for a short while there it was about to be the best dramatic fantasy I have read in ages.... lol
Writer saved the day and considered the young hearts (and those young at heart) and gave them a way out.
No worries - the plot thickens and continuation promises to be as grand, as the first installment in the series.
I do pray there is some hope for the spoiled little girl though :) Perhaps another flogging should seal the deal, :)

"Before You're Gone" is a well written story that connects to a deep place within allowing the reader to be transformed in time joining the characters in a powerful drama. Personally I like to be captivated by the story and this one connects that need for me. While set in medieval times, the power of the story could stand on its on in any time. Cate has done a great job and created for herself a wonderful foundation that leaves me looking forward to more of her books. Well work the read and highly recommended!

I admit I was a little hesitant going into this story, as period dramas are not usually something I enjoy. I was glad to have been proven wrong in this instance. "Before You're Gone" kept me hooked from the start, it never dragged, and left me wanting more. Fortunately, there are promises of a second book to come...

This is a beautiful story that I couldn't tear myself away from. I cried my eyes out...laughed out loud and was completely engaged. My heart was literally in my throat through much of the action, not sure what was going to come next. Cassie, being of nobility, was at a disadvantage throughout the whole story, yet she has a strong head and a quick tongue. I was sad about some of the characters, relieved over others and by the end, I was smiling from ear to ear. What a beautiful story and I cannot wait to see what Terryn has in store in book 2!

I enjoyed the fast paced plot which would never leave one bored. There was always an element of intrigue that had me wrapped up in the world until the last page. The characters were well developed and relatable. You quickly warmed to some and were repelled by others. I felt swept up in the saga as if I was traveling along with them. I was exhausted in some parts and refreshed in others which really showed the depth that the author has taken to make these characters and events feel real. There was plenty of emotion that kept me rooting for my favourites to stay alive. I’m waiting for the next book!

It's been awhile since I've had the opportunity to read an ebook, but I was pleasantly surprised by this choice.
It didn't feel like a young teens story. It had depth to it, giving the characters a believable voice. They were easy to relate to because of their personality and flaws, and I found that interesting to read.
The story is well written, and the plot engaging. It held my attention to the last chapter.
I look forward to reading the second book!
