Really disappointed. Isobel spent the entire book moping and relating everything to Varen.She made it seem as if she would die without him....where's the girlpower??? They did not even spend much time together in Nevermore. I really liked book 1 whit contrasting characters and the unique both story and the world but I mostly got a depressed idiot.I really liked Gwen with her sense of humour. And Varen?????What's up with him???Why was he not in this book?????My favorite character not in this book.....shakes head.It did not put me in a happy mood.
