    This series is off to a great start. Ena grates on my nerves a bit but at least she’s not perfect. I’m curious what her brother is hiding from her. He’s apparently well known among the locals. Liam is an interesting character and the chemistry between him and Ena is thick. I’m enjoying Ena and Finn’s friendship. He brings some much needed humor. I’m looking forward to seeing what role Ena has in bringing down the Guilds.
