Helpful Score: 2
For the most part a good read, but I agree with the other reviewer, I liked the first book better.
This one is darker, and full of various secondary characters, which, at least to some extent, stole Paul and Andra's (the H and h) thunder... (Though they also convinced me SKB's earned a place on my auto buy list :D )
Also (and this is a bit of a spoiler) The heroine is tormented by something that happens in her past...and it stops her from accepting her Hero until literally the final pages....(and come to think of it, things don't completely wrap up, which means we unfortunately might have to revisit her). The something that happens is pretty major, but the fact that it took her so long to let it go, made it extremely hard to like her. And to some degree she comes off as whiny. She annoyed me so much I actually took a month long break in the middle of reading this! It wasn't until I couldn't remember why I'd abandoned the book that I could pick it up again....and after doing so, promptly recalled what made me so annoyed in the first place!
I liked Paul a lot better...He's what paranormal Hero's are made of :) So much so, that I sorta-kinda wanted something bad to happen to Andra just so he could find someone truly deservng of his greatness :)
so.... an okay book, but I figure only read it if you're interested in reading the books in order.... I'm crossing my finger's the next one will be better...or at least have a heroine I don't dislike quite so much.
