Currently working my way through the requisite hundred or so pages of relationship angsting that has to happen before the plot starts. That may sound tedious, and frankly it is. But it's Harrison's pattern, and once the plot kicks into gear it's a fantastic ride. You just have to slog through that introductory angst first.

And now that I'm finished, I'm not sure what I think. The story itself was pretty darned exciting, but I'm getting a little sick of Rachel, and most of the people around her. Her friends don't really seem to be her friends, they seem to be Ivy's friends, for all they worry about Ivy and how Ivy's going to react to this or that. I understand that Ivy's supposedly been through some crap in the past, but all her whining and moping, while everyone else tiptoes around her, has gotten really really old. I may be done with this series.
