Review: Beautiful imagery, flat story

After reading this one, I found out that there was a story before this, which probably explained the characters in more detail. As it was, I felt completely lost in the first few pages. Once I was able to fill in the gaps, I was able to get into the story a little more.I really enjoyed the imagery, and the details that the author wove into the story so well. However, I was very disappointed by the way the story fell flat after the build-up. The heroine submitted far too easily, in my opinion. Where was the BDSM ... all we got was the B, and that was only enough to whet the appetite.I do want to read the book prior to this (The Rose of Shanhasson (Blood and Shadows)) to see if it helps make the second story any better. I don't think the back story will help with the flat storyline of the second book. I will probably also read the third book in the series, only because I want to see where the story goes, and because I enjoy the author's style of writing. I just hope it's less flat than the second book in the series.
