Review: A worthy read with some issues

I wish I could give two scores, one for the incredible imagination and world building and one for the execution. If the author used an editor, then they need to find someone who is pickier for the next book. I love the characters but found it difficult at times to follow all the action as there is a definite continuity issue.The book could be twice as long and still not have enough detail for everything that happens.  The reader isn't subjected to the dreaded info dump but from time to time a bit more detail would have helped.  More of an issue is a jump from one situation to another without enough explanation.That gets the negative out of the way. I loved the characters, Deva is strong and not arrogant. She grows delightfully throughout the book, helping those she loves and putting herself in front of her friends and the innocent time after time. I do love a super shero.  Padraig is, of course, the ideal immortal male, closed in and arrogant.  So much fun to watch the walls come tumbling down.The paranormal world this author has built is complex and multi layered, giving the promise of many many books to come.  I can't wait to read them, with the hope the editing issues will not be as great a problem.
