Brief review follows:
Overall I enjoyed the book - the first half more than the second. There were some slow, meandering portions in the 2nd third of the book which dragged for me. I do acknowledge that IRL stress and a generally distracted read didn't help the book.
Still the overall experience is worth reading - there was more action in the book but parts of it felt very meandering (basically part II and III). I like our leads and their romance as well. The plot with the bid bad was interesting - if a little dragged out.
Despite this slow pace, the resolution was kind of dropped in the end. One minute we are still facing the consequences of the villian and then boom. Book ended. I actually though I was missing a few pages. The author seems allergic to pacing her endings I guess.
Ending qualms aside I liked the reading of the book in general. If the author writes another book I will pick it up as the quality of the writing was good and I liked the characterization for the most part.

Interesting book with an interesting title. I enjoyed the sequel as much as the first book. It is a curious book that kept me guessing until the end.

Takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R to get to any point of interest… plodding along just might be an understatement… sigh.
