I really enjoyed the concept of the novel, but felt let down by the ending. Setting up for a series is one thing, but there was no sense of a complete tale here.

It's a good story, with some very interesting world building and mythos, but some of the details came out of nowhere, and only right at the end. There are some sagging parts in the plot, but nothing horrible. There is a lot of sensuality about bloody lips, which I adore, but no reason why kissing was seemingly taboo.

Worth reading if you get your hands on it.
