I enjoyed this book, I really did. The prose was eloquent and wonderful, and the overall storyline was something to be sought after. But at the same time, I felt like there was MORE prose than story. More fluff than not. I love words and how they can be strung together to make beautiful sentences, but those sentences have to mean something. So...why 2 stars? Well, I thought it was an enjoyable book, but it lacked substance. If there had been a bit more substance, I would've given it a 3. If the substance had been overflowing while also including the prose, I would've given it a 4 or 5. Sadly, the prose was there - strong as ever - but the story easily lost me and I felt like I could've been way stronger. So it all leveled out to a 2. I think some could enjoy it, but I wanted something a little deeper.
