***spoilers***Before I say anything else, I'd like to mention that the cover art for the book should probably be changed. I know it's just a stock photo and you probably didn't know it's been used repeatedly - but I've seen that exact photo on 3 book covers now. The most popular being Tammara Webber's "Easy" which was published about 2 years ago and now a pretty popular story translated into many languages since she was picked up by a publisher.The cover art aside, I loved the premise of the story. I loved the idea that the past inhabitants of this kingdom were now a part of the land and it communicated with Kaeda. I loved the way it was manifested through the castle and the land and what it represented and I kept waiting for something epic to happen. I expected something meaningful at least to happen. Instead, I kept rolling my eyes at the stupidity and arrogance of Ceron. I swear even a cockroach could have seen how ridiculously mule headed this character was written.Don't even get me started on Kaeda....How can any woman be that stupid? or take that much abuse and still love a man? Or be thrown in a dungeon by him one night and sleeping with him the next... what? It annoyed the HELL out of me. And why did she wait soooooooo long for Ceron to get good and completely corrupted and consumed by evil to suddenly know JUST the spell to fix it all? ugh... everything was just annoying. The quick fix, the way she was weak throughout the entire story and then VOILA, she's strong and knows what to do!But the ending was the worst part. Why? Because it didn't end! After I suffered through that whole woe is me tale of Kaeda hoping that SOMEHOW the ending would be epic and the story would have some redemption, I find that someone just pushed a "restart" button and now we're back to square one. SQUARE ONE! gahhhh *pulling out my hair* why?!? oh why?!?I don't think I can read through this story again and watch the same stuff happen again... sigh....I really can't. So unfortunately the tale ends here for me... perhaps someone else finds the will to keep reading and will tell me if it ends well or gets restarted... AGAIN.
