One of my favorite rereads.
Interesting premise, great main characters, but way too long. Let's just watch the show instead.

When I returned home back in December THIS was the book everyone seemed to be talking about....and as I NEED a long book to fall into, I eagerly downloaded it. Ho hum. It was not that thrilling. I am not even sure I will bother to read the next in the series.
