A very good book to escape with, but holy wow, enough romance to rival the romance section of any bookstore. Quite honestly, I didn't mind the fact that this book was much more of a romance than I expected, but I really could have done away with ALL of the romance scenes -- took a lot away from the overall story. After a while, it got to the point where I found myself saying out loud, "Okay, I get it, they LOVE each other!" Every time it moved past that, I found the story very entertaining and fascinating, and I am interested to read the second book to find out what happens.

Not a huge fan of the events at the end of the book either, those who have read it know what I mean. Not sure if it called for that, but I guess there really wasn't any other way to have the final events take place?
