The action moved pretty quickly and the storylines flowed well. Some characters were more interesting than others. The main thing that kept this from being great was the ending. I understand the author was trying to write a series and continued the story into the next book, but this one just seemed to end. One plotline was wrapped up (sort of), but then it kind of wasn't. I'm not a fan of cliffhangers. I expect some sort of resolution when I read a book. I will probably try the next book to see what happens. no reviews | add a review
