This was an enjoyable read, I liked all of the characters, and I hope that the author continues this series for us to read more about them.  Good enough world building and I liked the writing.  Characterization was pretty good, though I'm not sure how characters over two millennia old can be so clueless about other people's emotions.That aside, when reading romance books, I generally like to have the main focus on the protagonists and having too many POV's from secondary/tertiary characters typically irritates me.  In this book, we meet the Dozen, comprised of the Queen, her Elite Guards and her Council.  We pretty much get most of their POV's at one point or other throughout the book, along with the antagonist.  But each of their chapters are very brief and I enjoyed the introduction to them, hopefully as a set up for future books.  I am really looking forward to the advancing of the story line with the villain, especially since the villain also seems to know the secrets of Dalair, who I think is probably the most interesting of the Dozen.
