I would have given it 3 stars, except I was bored.I didn't car about Layla/Xcor, Assail, Sols or the Shadows. I just wanted to read Qhinn and Bhlay's story, and the rest was just filler.I also felt cheated by Qhinn and Bhlay's story because they were acting like such girls. This whole back and forth crap, and making decisions based on half a sentence.
