I have to say I was actually a little disappointed in this book. I usually love Kenyon and the Dark Hunter series. It took a little bit for me to get into this book. The beginning was quite slow.

One of the major problems I have with this book was that the writing was everywhere and not very focused. There was a lot of going back into the character's memories for conversations with others. Now usually that wouldn't be a problem but we are talking about huge monologues with other characters. It actually got boring.

I thought Teri was a very shallow character. There wasn't much depth or consistency in her. I have no idea why she abandoned her grandmother's magical ways and embraced science. At the same time for someone who dismisses magic she accepts it really quickly only to dismiss it again. Her speech was completely inconsistent. One minute she talked like a professor, then a valley girl, then a Southerner. This happened a lot with the other characters as well. As a result, I found the romance between Ren and Teri very tepid.

I think what I did love about the books were the interactions of all the side characters from the past. On top of that the Mayan myths and gods were pretty awesome too.

Overall, it got more exciting after characters from the other books showed up but really this isn't Kenynon's best work.
