Review: Promising book that falls flat
Rating: 1 out of 5

This book started out so promising - interesting plot, well thought-out history/myth, sizzling love triangle, betrayal, a coup...and then things fell apart.Somewhere between the repetitive phrases (it was childish even to her ears. the "dancing" of male anatomy, etc) and the completely ridiculous sex scenes I really fell out of love with this book. I still mostly enjoyed the characters but I definitely felt put off by the crudeness of Julian and the modern way he spoke. Many of his mannerisms were felt thoroughly modern which didn't make a whole lot of sense to me; yes he was educated about modern times but I don't think it would have truly taken like that.Sigh, in the end I was disappointed. Mediocre, at best, read. Glad it was free.
