I agree with a previous review I read on this novel. If you read it expecting a romance you will be highly disappointed. And to go on and agree with another reviewer - no it has nothing on JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I did however really like the premise and the fact that the heroine is not some wimpy sweet girl who gets her life taken from her only to say "oh it's ok your hot so I can change everything for you." I truly loved the fact that she is not brought into the world because of superficial reasons, but she does so as a way of staying in touch with who she really is. Her need to aid and cure the ills of others is believable because it doesn't leave her when she changes.

I feel like this book is one big set up for all the others. The world building was great but the character development of the hero was non existent.I get that he is used to being the leader and that he was born in the 12th century, but to have survived he should have at least learned that times had changed.

Overall I will give the second in the series a try then see how it goes.
