Review: It was good, not great

Let me start by saying that I did really enjoy this book.  I read quite a bit of young adult literature, since I really enjoy a coming of age story.  The first book was really good.  The characters were interesting, there was a good story, and overall a good world.  In this book, the confusing nature of the backstory was more obvious.  I'm still not really clear on what some of the terms mean as the author has used them.  She obviously is very knowledgeable about Greek Mythology, which is a nice change of pace from most authors right now.  My other problem with this book was the amount of making out the main character indulges in.  I understand, they are right around 18, and that's what kids do, but an occasional cut to black instead of every single detail would have been really nice.  It didn't add anything to the plot, and seemed to bog things down.  It got to the point where I was skipping page after page.  Other than that, it was really good.  The editing was flawless.  No misspelled words, no major grammatical errors.
