Review: Could have been really good.
Rating: 2 out of 5

What was there, was good, but there's not nearly enough there to be 'really good'. The characters aren't developed enough for me to form an attachment to them. I understand that this is Book One, but in order for me to want to continue to the next book, I need to be able to care about what happens next for the main characters. The whole "series" trend is understandable - people want to make money selling books, and more books sold equals more money made - but, too often, what could be a really good novel is pared down to the bare bones so it can be the series opener. That's when the real magic is lost.
