This was almost good like every Dreamspinner book. Glimpses of great writing in a few gorgeous descriptions and sentences, but the pacing was seriously defective. So much introspection that seemed to get more heavy-handed as the story went on. The climax was fairly gripping. After that, the story just DRAGGED. I liked the MCs at first but grew to hate them as they refused to reconcile after the much more interesting external plot had resolved. I usually love angst. This, however, was melodramatic and unsexy. Bleh. I listened to it on audio and wasn't really a fan of the narrator either.
