Review: Wanted to like the characters more than I did.

As sometimes happens, I'm out on a limb with this one. Every other reviewer, to date, seems to have loved it.I wanted to, but I found the characters irritating. The heroine, in particular, was all over the place. One minute she's Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes, the next she's materialistic and immature, the next she's little better than a criminal associate and, at various times, she's coming off as all self-sacrificing. I really didn't get her.As for the hero... well, I wanted to see him as a hero, but I just didn't. He didn't inspire anything much in me besides semi-interest most of the time and disgust at others.By three-quarter time I realised I didn't want to try to understand either of them anymore, so I bailed.I don't doubt this is going to be a detailed series with many twists and turns for its various characters. I just wish I could have cared enough about any of them to want to find out where it all goes.Of course, I'm that lone voice of dissent, so you should check it out anyway.
