I haven't read this author before, and after this book, I am unlikely to be reading anything else of theirs anytime soon.Marise was not a character I could relate to - nor did I want to. Jascha showed promise for a paragraph of two, but quickly left me tepid if not cool.Frankly, I found the story tedious to read, and that's being polite. The characters' world was seriously messed up. My disbelief was never suspended, and try as I might, I really couldn't whip up any interest in the outcome of this story. There was no character arc - no significant growth in the main characters; just an apology for a past sin of omission and all's forgiven.Sorry, but the impression this story left on me was of someone making an almighty effort to come up with some kick-ass female warrior who could lord it over every male in sight without putting herself to any effort. The result was a female I couldn't care less about, and a pathetic male who read like a labrador puppy looking for someplace warm to curl up.
