Review: Didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either.

I didn't dislike From the Ashes, but I didn't have overwhelming feelings of love for it either. I don't have strong feelings about the book in either direction, and the characters didn't leave much of a lasting impression on me. I did find reading it enjoyable, but I promptly forgot most of what I read a day later.Just some thoughts:1. Closeted characters are kind of like Daisy's theme. It's her thing. But it's never the same experience, and I think she does it well.2. So, as expected, themes of denial and general closetedness run rampant.3. Jesse and Thomas fall in lust, and then love, rather speedily. Ok, really speedily. This usually has the unfortunate result of demolishing any chance of me becoming invested in the relationship.4. Hotness abounds. It's not filled with smexin. BUT when it happens you'll know, because it's SO spicy.3 Stars
