There were parts of this book that I adored, but the book as a whole left me feeling a bit cheated. There were just too many story lines that were not related to the main couple. It felt more like a first book in a series as if the author was trying to build a world while telling a story. What I am really frustrated by is that if the next book focuses on Wrath and Beth, why did all of those story lines have to be inluded into this one book?
