Review: The worst (most confusing) book of the series.
Rating: 3 out of 5

Although I had some reservations about the writing/plotting, when I finished the book, I immediately got the next one... then the next and so on.The series gets much better as it goes on and I found the mix of science and fantasy very interesting. Although the bad reviews make some valid points, I would recommend the series for its scope and many many plot twists. Since the author asked for no spoilers in the reviews, it makes it hard to write about because the books are one surprise after another.The one thing that annoyed me no end was the lack of sex between Will and his true love. I don't need salacious descriptions but it is also hard to believe that a couple could be together, love one another and forgo sex for so many years. I know it was explained as a plot point but I found the explanation ridiculous.Meanwhile, if you can get through the first book, I think you'll find it worthwhile to continue on as the story makes more and more sense as all the secrets are revealed.
