I was so close to giving this 4 stars - the characters are mostly really intriguing, 3-dimensional, smart, funny, real and invited me to invest in them emotionally (which I absolutely did!).This is a journey of self-discovery and ultimately a study of relationships and human nature when put under extreme stress.I was a huge fan of Jaz and Nik, when they got page time together. The author is quite good at crafting dialogue, the problem is that she doesn't do it enough. There's entirely too much exposition in this book instead of characters living what the author is talking about. The characters are wonderful and rich in their own right when they're allowed to be and live and act on the story happening around them. That was my biggest frustration with this book - I wanted more actual character interaction to develop the story instead of the author telling me about it.Ms. Green has created an interesting and innovative twist on the Were world filled with wonderful characters, I just hope she's able to let them off the leash in future books.
