I started this book with very high hopes from most of the reviews I read but wonder now if we all read the same book. Yes, the love story is sweet and the lack of sex scenes refreshing and the world described was interesting, but I never once felt like I was a part of this world. Most distracting and uncomfortable was how the author would attempt to show the mind of the "bad guys". I assume this was to give the book intrigue or maybe just motivation for their attack on the Good Guys and maybe it would be effective if they were given a realistic motive, but it fell very flat to me. The underlying battle of good and evil was too weak. The leader of the bad side was too unbelievable and his motivation, his "experiment" was just ridiculous to me. I gave the three stars for the relationship of the main two characters and for the touches of humor and for the originality of the setting.
