I perhaps could have finished the book four hours earlier than I did, had I not spent so much bloody time rewriting it in my head. There are so many orphaned plot lines it leaves one's head reeling, and there really, truly, does not have to be jam packed action every other two sentences, it's highly unsettling and distracting. The love triangle thing is so overdone, can we please move now, please? The author would probably have done better to have had one love interest either "good" or "bad" or perhaps a combination of the two, maybe a good guy with a slightly darker edge. Then there's the host of supporting characters that never get fleshed out with actual personalities but rather serve to advance the plot points, that also never get fleshed out. This book is chock full of potential that fizzles. The plot was just too big and was hard to follow. I was going to read the second installment because the author has a rather lithe imagination and I had hopes that the plot would straighten out and calm, but the more I think on it the love triangle thing is too irritating.
