I think the opening pages were worked on again and again,  because they were of a much higher standard than the rest of the book.  In a way I feel a bit duped by the sample, because once I bought the book (I always read the samples first) it just became increasingly absurd,  badly written,  with little or no characterization and just ridiculous.  I became increasingly amazed at how bad it was,  2 year time leaps,  Auri changes character,  ridiculous expectations,  bad writing.  I stopped reading it for the story and continued just to see how bad it could get but then even that paled,  it got so silly that I didn't both finishing it and let it go.  On some level it reminded me of Jez Morrow'sLover and Commanderso I went to reread that as a palate cleanser.
