Strange the Dreamer

Some of the best writing I've ever read.
The love scenes were absolutely lovely.
The explosion's aftermath was amazing.

BUT - I wish I'd known this is just part I. This is not the first book of a series, this is just the beginning of the story.
Also, there are some bits that I find very unsatisfying.
And the beginning was quite unnecessary.
Also, how could they not have figured out what Minya would do? It was obvious.
