The idea behind the world is wonderful. The plot starts off really well. The hints about Seth's destiny are well placed and encourage the reader to keep going. Ashton and Garret are great characters. Seth is an interesting character in the beginning.And then Seth meets Sara. And the book spirals downhill. I like romance, and I have no problem with romance in fantasy books. But this was over the top. So much sugar-sweetness that I almost went into sugar shock - and I'm not diabetic! I finally got to the point that I skimmed over the scenes with Seth and Sara in order to get back to the main story. I just could not take the two of them any more. To make matters worse, their romance takes up a considerable amount of the book. I'd estimate 1/4 of this book would disappear if the romance was cut.I'd say this book is worth reading, but be prepared to skim over a lot.
