As an avid reader mainly in sci-fi and fantasy fiction I was somewhat disappointed. I wanted to like this book - really I did. This book is boring. I usually devour books. This book I could barely get through one chapter a night, and it's a ridiculously short book. There is so much prose wasted on the characters waxing poetic about life, love, sex and death in the Seelie/Unseelie worlds...and all this seems to happen just before the sex. And there's a lot of sex, so there's a lot of poetic waxing. Not interesting sex, just lots of sex.
Have I mentioned that this book is boring?

I think Hamilton's books have gotten more and more like this over the past couple of years, and it's a real disappointment. I'm hoping she listens to her fans and gets back to the great, supernatural storyteller she used to be. Sex is fine, entertaining certainly, but not when it's the only thing she can write about. Lots of sex doesn't distract from not having a strong storyline, and this book is severely lacking in storyline.
