I know I also commented on the short length, thinking an extra hundred pages might have given it the depth it needed.

I think the premise just sounds too cool. The issue with the characters though sounds really frustrating. It's so hard to connect to characters you don't KNOW.

Especially Cyrus. Oi.

I think I'll be picking it up soon, though, because even though there was a lack of depth in this one, I am really intrigued by this concept. I, like you, made the assumption that the incarnation thing would be based off of more religious things, so it's neat to see that's not the case. <br /><br />Lovely review, Blythe! <3Aneeqahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352395407424623520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646664861833035183.post-48516257783413640672013-06-06T05:45:04.552-07:002013-06-06T05:45:04.552-07:00I bought this when it first came out and have yet ...I bought this when it first came out and have yet to read it. I hate that they changed the covers too!! I liked the original, and now if I get the rest of them they won't match! I'm glad that you liked this. I hope that there is better character development in the next one. Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669564557768319285noreply@blogger.com
