I think I wanted to like this book too much and then I got my hopes up and that just ruined it for me. It was good but it just wasn't that great. One; it was very, very slow. It didn't start getting interesting until like 60% into it and then stopped being interesting 80% into. Yeah... Thats no...

Review also posted at Ja čitam, a ti?When Livia Blackburne approached me last year and asked me to read the prequel to this story, Poison Dance, I jumped to it.
