Reign of Shadows

Finished this book in a day and now I have to wait for the next one. Story line is interesting though I feel like it didn't really go as far as it probably should for the first book of a new series. I feel like there could have been more plot here. There was also some underdeveloped writing that seemed lacking in depth. Typical and predictable. Relationship wasn't developed as well as it could have been. Boy and girl were practically in love at first sight...kinda. And the main character's ability, though constantly said to be capable was hindered by the lack of showing her capability. She's frequently a damsel in distress. Only in the very beginning did it seem like she could handle herself. The way she saves him the one time, though interesting enough, was kind of lacking. That being said I still enjoyed it enough to read it in one sitting ;) and I want to know what happens in the next book. So not good enough to hit my top 20 but good enough that I'm curious where it will lead.
