I can't give away spoilers! but the story goes nicely along until...
And that's what I hated about the book! Right up until then I loved it. I liked having the view point of different characters. I liked the characters, though I thought they needed a little fleshing out. I liked the story, everybody having their own agenda. I even liked that nobody was totally good. Our heroes & heroines had flaws, but that made it more realistic than the usual absolute do-gooder characters most writers stick with. I liked the pyschic angle too, though it could have used a bit more detail. I eventually liked the ending - if I hadn't had to go thru a certain part of the book to get there first I would have loved it.
That was the part I didn't like. It's a great BIG SPOILER!!!! and under the rules of review writing I'm not allowed to reveal spoilers! But this one was so big and so bad I almost stopped reading the book! I did put it down for a few days and hesitated going back to it. It changed everything. So much so that I'm surprised no one else mentioned it. Maybe they weren't as shocked by it as I was, but I don't see how they couldn't have been.
I would love to say that once I got past that part it was easy to move on, but it wasn't. That part just stayed with me all the way to the end of the book. I kept thinking that there was a better way for the author to have accomplished her goal without doing 'this' awful thing. For me it took away from my enjoyment of the book. So I give this book only 3 stars. It would have been 2 but I did like all of the story but this part. Of course, it would have been 5 if the writer hadn't... Well, I guess you'll have to read it to find out what she did...
