Huge, and I mean HUGE disappointment. 
 It's not that the book is bad, it just didn't deliver what it promised to be: a page turner. 
 Also, the narrative could have used a better planned development, sometimes things weren't clear, other times I got the feeling that the author was contracting something already said, and others still I thought there might be a plot hole here and there. 
 As for the characters, I couldn't bring myself to like Dosia, Esmerine sounded too childish and Alander lacked magnetism. 
 If Dolamore could have put a little more work and a few more pages, this might have been a complete different book. As it stands, two stars because I dodn't feel like throwing it out of the window.
