Helpful Score: 5

It's like two different stories stuck together.
K.E. Mills has a gift for descriptive writing. Her characters were all physical presences in the story. She also manages to write realistic sounding dialog.

I just have to finish books I start, as a rule. However, the writing in this book was incredibly heavy-handed. The characterizations are very heavy, there's no subtlety involved. This is _not_ a bad read, particularly if you haven't read some of her other works and so don't have high expectations. If you're in for a quick fix of magic and mayhem, then perhaps consider it. If you've got anything better though, leave this one on the shelf. I have picked up the next book in the trilogy to see what mess they will get into next, but I hesitate to start it.
