I ended up DNF this book. Go to around halfway through. The characters ran away from the plot after the 150 pages. I couldn’t stand reading page after page of horseback riding and rowing. Main character Diana had potential, but all that potential got thrown away once she met Matthew. Ugh

I just read A Discovery of Witches and absolutely loved it. Now, I feel like there is a hole in my heart. However, at the same time, I can say that this book filled up my soul. It does remind me a little of the Highlander series and there are echoes of Twilight--although there are significant differences. I am sad that I have to wait until 2012 for the next book to come out.
