I started this book with pretty high expectations. Maybe that's what made it such a dissapointment.

The first 100 pages don't really go anywhere, and our introduction to the main character, Eon (Eona), isn't very flattering. I honestly didn't care much (or any) for her. She came off as weak and kind of useless, at least to me. Maybe I've just been spoiled by all of the kick-butt heroines I've read about before, but Eon just didn't do it for me.

The plot itself moves along pretty well, but since apparently this book can't satisfy me in anything, I found the action to be lacking. It's not that it didn't exist, but the action that went on throughout this book just didn't, well, excite me.

By the end of the book ( and I mean the VERY end. Only a few pages from The End) Eon finally shows some signs of remarkable power. Of course, as soon as it's getting good, the book ends.

I'm still not sure as to whether or not I'll read the sequel, but if I do it might not be for a while.
