Wow! What a terribly written book! With a well-written book, its possible to live in another reality for the hours it takes to read. This book really missed the mark. I thought the premise sounded interesting and the cover is truly hot, sadly the characters all seemed one dimensional with flat personalities. No doubt this is because the author decided to tell us what was going on rather than showing us. Story-telling isn't something everyone understands without a live audience to give feedback. I'm telling you, any audience would have run out of the room to go find sharp implements to poke out their ears >;(
This book made me really appreciate other authors who consistently use words appropriate to the historical period in which they're writing and after trying to read this novel, I'm an even bigger fan of authors who can make their stories come alive with the simple technique of showing what happens in their story instead of just talking about it.
I'm sad that my local library spent dollars from their book budget on this boring book. Read Kim Harrison's new book, it's number 11 or 12 in the series and just as amazing as all the others!
