To be honest, I thought Devon and Merry were rather boring, and I was far more invested in the secondary characters such as Cat and Raven. Even the characters who had very little page time such as Merry's Aunt April, and Devon's godfather Lord Cathcart were more interesting.

Ewww. Gross. 

Husband is loving the excerpts I'm reading to him.
