Things are becoming slightly better as there is a bit more suspense and intrigue being incorporated into the story. Still, I'm finding the plot rather weak and chaotic and I can't get used to the writing style (formatting problems aside). I'm not a big fan of the characters either...

Sadly this is turning out to be quite a disappointment. Besides formatting problems I can forgive since it's an ARC and not a final version, I'm having a hard time with the many many POV switches every couple of pages, making it harder to keep track of the story and the characters. I don't feel a connection to the characters at all and they seem rather flat to me. And the plot itself is weak and rather boring...
