For some reason this story was utterly confusing. Then again, it was utterly spellbinding too. What a weird but beautiful experience.

Maybe it’s just me but I found this story to be incredibly chaotic, in every single way. Not only was the plot all over the place (and I don’t mean that in a bad way because in the end, I was very much able to follow along) but the characters, especially Lorne, were a bit two faced a well.

I should be more specific here, I think. Lorne was without a doubt a beautiful character and I loved how in the beginning he tried to get Xan’s attention in the weirdest way possible. But then, when he found out about the magic, his character changed drastically. I don’t exactly know how to explain it because I can see that he was still the same but with a broader horizon. The change was just extremely sudden.

The romance was secondary in this book. And extremely rushed which was a shame. I would have loved for this book to be longer and more detailed. But the plot just took so much explaining because it wasn’t the easiest to follow and every other thing just needed to fall behind in a way. Otherwise the plot wouldn’t have worked out.

The book should have been longer. It’s very clear to me now.
