![]() ![]() None seemed unbelievable, but aside from the narrator, none of them seemed fully developed, either.In short, as much as I was swept up by the beginning, I felt less and less involved as the book went on. That might have heightened the suspense, at times, but it was also a frustration, and a bit more depth in terms of explanation and time could have made a big difference. I have faith that there was depth to the mythology involved, but it was so abstract that, plot-wise and progression-wise, it was hard to follow what was happening at every moment. And the larger problem was, pretty simply, one of depth. ![]() One chapter would be all about the horror and the mystery while the next was all about the romance, and so it felt like taking turns more than a natural unfolding of a story that happened to involve both. ![]() As things kept going, though, it was harder and harder to stay engaged.While the author was clearly trying to keep a balance going between horror and romance, things were just too unbalanced. I was sucked in immediately-the atmosphere and mystery of the beginning was intoxicating, and I loved the characters. I have to admit that this was a pretty uneven read for me. ![]()
