It started a little slow, which I could forgive. It started getting more interesting after the first few chapters but once I got past the hundred page mark, shit got boring. The story itself is interesting, if you just examine the bare bones of the plot. The problem is everything in between. All the small details and elaborate descriptions which get repeated further down the line. You could take out the whole 400+ pages which comprise the "history of the Mayfair Witches" and still know everything that you need to know about the characters. Towards the end, I just wanted to know what was going to happen, I wanted to climax, I didn't want to get pulled along hundreds or more pages setting up was proved to be an anti climatic ending- an ending which wasn't really an ending since this is just the first in a three book series.
I just can't give this book my recommendation. It's just too long. Too many useless descriptions. Too much repetition. More effort than it's worth....
