Helpful Score: 1

I'm struggling to decide if I really liked this book or not - I may have to read the second one in the series to see if I was just expecting too much or if it was really a poorly written story. In some ways, I really liked the story - the complexity of the background, the intricacy of the plot, the pace of the story, the action and fighting... on the other hand, the character development seemed a bit far fetched and overdone. I hate characters that are too perfect - mucho rich, absolutely pretty and/or handsome, incredibly lucky, great businessmen, etc... and Hawke fit into ALL those catagories. And, there were too many sidekicks and sexy damsels in the cast of characters. This book seemed to be too long by about a third - maybe it was just setting up threads for subsequent stories - one can hope anyway.

I probably enjoyed this just enough to give the second book a shot.
