I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about myself. I have heard a few complaints about the lack of world building too though. Hopefully that'll be cleared up in the sequel, like you say.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877379041758656043.post-8950818114578400692011-11-29T16:59:00.988-08:002011-11-29T16:59:00.988-08:00Great review!

I felt a little out of sorts not knowing much about it, but I'm guessing she'll take care of some of that in the sequel.

I didn't think Juliette and Adam were as interesting as Warner, Kenji, or James and the book suffered in that aspect for me.
