Review: Not deep, but entertaining

The author continues to suck you into caring by having characters act very unkind to Reah for mostly incredibly stupid reasons.  Your blood pressure rises as you want to slap these ungrateful wretches who so abuse our sweet young high demon.  While some of the characters seem to wallow in self pity and mild remorse no real punishment is ever forthcoming.  For example, for Garde's abuse, no punishment nor sharing of the riches Reah developed for the High Demons.  Why was Kevis initailly not thoroughly briefed, instead just a favor asked to treat Reah.  How did such a philological liar as his nurse, Ceerah, get by Kevis, a trained psycho analyst?  The reality show happens to pick this tape where they fail to cover the face of the interviewee?  At least Kirfirin appears to have gotten a slight slap on the wrist for messing with peoples emotions, but not enough!This book frustrates the reader as Reah is abused, used and generally treated badly, while she continues to act the forgiving loving woman, so much that Reah seems unreal and the other characters stereotyped evil idiots.  Marrying the demon that kidnapped and raped her does seem a bit over the top in forgiveness.But the book in expensive and fast paced.  So if you can ignore the stupidly unrealistic people there is significant entertainment in the book.  I enjoyed the series, but do wish the author would temper her extreme characters just a bit.
