I wanted to love this book, and I did like the characters, but it was bit of a let down. There were no clues that I could follow, and it seemed like the answers just appeared from nowhere. I like her writing, and I'm hoping the series can improve with the next book, especially since Xhex seems to be playing a part in this story. I'm wondering if these characters will weave their way into some of the BDB books as well.
