This was a re-read after reading the original edition a few years ago. Unfortunately I don't remember enough of the original to identify exactly what has been changed in the revised version, but I enjoyed this considerably better than my first read through.
In my memory, I had taken issue with this book because of an abundance of YA/NA tropes that I was sick of at the time. I believe this edition tones them down to a palatable level, or I was inured to them this time because they were expected.
This time around, I find myself liking the characters much better. They have a more adult feel and I definitely want to continue the series now.
