I was lucky enough to see Rutkoski talking about this book and she said she wanted to write a standalone romance in the vein of Pride and Prejudice--one of her own favorites.<br /><br />I loved a lot about this book myself--particularly the literary allusions (which led to the purchase of a TS Eliot inspired art print for my wall) and the way family is treated and played with throughout the story.
