Review: Such promise! A pity it did not go all the way.

Rain is a girl on the run, running from her father's killers and people who badly want the invention that she had created and the knowledge that she possess. Her luck turns for the better as a prime specimen of her species (Fallon) rescues her. Should she trust him with her past? Or is he out to take advantage of her?This novel had a lot of potential. For the first time, politics among the nobles/council featured prominently in the series. I thought, wow, this is good, some mind games might be at play as opposed to the previous action filled books. Alas, this book, while not bad, did not explore or fulfill its full potential. The ending is also rather abrupt. I suppose this is a not bad book to read if you are trying to delve further into this series. Otherwise, start off withThe Charmer (Dark Lands)On a side note, I wish the author or publisher indicates whether the books are the first, second, or third, etc in the series. As it is, it is quite challenging to figure out how to read the  books in chronological order. Listing the books according to publication date does not help either since a few of them are published on the same year and the month is not indicated.
