*Spoiler Alert*

I was about to give this 3-stars, until being totally disappointed by the last 30 pages or so. Throughout, I had problems with character development and plot. She hooked me with initial descriptions of people, but then left much unexplored and no reason for some of the earlier narrative. It was like she was not totally clear which direction she wanted the story to go or which characters she wanted to focus on. I was willing to overlook this in light of what is still an engaging setting and story lines with alot of potential. However, in the final sections she kills off three main characters, only one of which has a sort of convincing reason why. It's really annoying, and any empathy or interest I had built up for the characters kinda vanished. Her later novels are much better - really liked Electric Michaelangelo - but this one I would skip.
