Not what I was expecting
Whilst listening to the first part of the book I actually went back into Audible to check I had downloaded the right book. However once into it the story took shape and I did enjoy it, the characters became evident and I was able to follow the thread.

Disappointing characters
Sadly, I found this story quite unlikable. Normally this author is one of my favourites, however this time I had a hard job listening to the end of the book as none of the characters instilled a desire in me to care about what happened to them. Another reviewer mentioned it as a romantic story, I found it passionless, frustrating and altogether rather boring.
