Review: Great potential left unrealized

While I enjoyed reading this book, it never really captured my attention to the extent that I didn't want to put it down. The characters are somewhat flat and undeveloped; for example, it appears in the beginning of the book that Rafe is going to be a major character, but he is out of the story line for much of the book. One of the problems, in my opinion, is that characters who are actually minor characters appear far too often and in totally unnecessary scenes that slow the pace of the story; conversely, characters who are obviously supposed to be the main characters are not fleshed out. More than a few of the plot twists are implausible, given the story line, and that doesn't help this novel.
