Helpful Score: 1
I really enjoyed the first 3/4 or so of the book, then things started to drag once Rowan and Michael sat down with Ashlar. Anne Rice has a problem with getting stuck in passive storytelling.
I liked getting to know Mona better, and meeting Mary Jane, was sad at losing Aaron, but I think the author lacked in the presentation of that part of the book. If I didn't already have an attachment to him from other books, it would hardly have struck me as important. As it is, I didn't cry...
One part that did make me tear up, however, was the scene where Ashlar and Tessa dance. I've always loved Pachelbel's Canon in D, but have a totally different interpretation and visualization of the piece than the one presented in this scene. Even so, it was striking and emotionally moving. I listened to the music on my iPod as I read...wow.
Overall a good read, but needed some polishing.
