2 1/2 starsI know that contradictory to the rating, I actually did enjoy this little Novella. My main problem was that it was too rushed. There we're too many holes and not enough detail. There's this great plot just simmering beneath the surface but we never really get what's going on.WHO exactly is Legend? What are his powers? His purpose? His sister's? It's all so vague. They're not Titans, not Olympians, but they're immortal.  Then, what's the deal with Symphoni? His headaches/losing himself. What's the point of the journal entries? They tell us the same things just being in his head gives us. These are questions that plagued me while reading and held me back from fully immersing in the story. I mean, I realize there are other books out there, but TM Scott brought a lot of these issues up in THIS one, and that needs to be addressed.I do love Symphoni's character. And Legend, I can't riddle him out. He us so hot and cold. And one minute he hates her, the next he's in love with her with absolutely no reasoning; he doesn't question how or why. He just decides 'mine' I can't live without her. Yet, she seems unfazed, so i can't contribute it to some godly mating mechanism....At times they'll seem normal, the next ethereal and truly godlike, looker they've lived and seen lifetimes. Then at a moments notice even their dialogue changes, their tone, into something more immature and colloquial.The foundation for a plot is there, the skin and bones of character too--but where's the meat? They need to be plumped. The essence is there in every aspect. It just needs to be developed. Have the time taken to actually give us more details, full accounts if what is going on. See the friendship blossom between Symphoni and Legend instead of just being told.
