Onto a common complaint: Strong feelings for each other very fast. The reader never gets to spend much time in their heads or reading their private thoughts so maybe this was the problem. I couldn't get a grasp on the characters and because of this I never connected with them. I could never picture what Ryam and Ai Li the lead characters looked like, which is so strange! Yes, Ryam was blonde and blued eyed and Ai Li had almond eyes and dark hair but the author didn't give them any depth and I always felt like I was reading through a veil. By the time I am more than halfway through the book I should know why the characters are acting they way they are, otherwise I don't think people can really connect to them. Then it started to feel like backstory details were being dragged out for too long because the info wasn't really crucial to the characters. While the backstory was interesting it took too long to for the author to get to important details. (Someone get quality control stat!!!)Īt the beginning of the story I felt really thrust into it, felt like I was playing catch up in the first couple chapters. However, I will list what is becoming the very usual and oh so common issues with romance books I have been reading lately. To be honest this was all I wanted to type for my review, and really there is nothing else that needs to be said. Oh how I wanted to love this story, but I didn't.
