This is too long. Toooo longggg. I really wanted to love it and it started out so fascinating. I was all in on the secrets of the Silversinct and the war with the vampires. It was a bit confusing with the changing in timelines, but I did get the hang of it and was interested to see how these three timelines connected because they felt so different. But about 2/3rds through I just lost interest.  Maybe I didn't connect with any of the characters in the way I had hoped by this point, but I also just think there is no reason this book had to be so long.  Unfortunately, I didn't care about the ending as much as I had hoped and I won't continue this series.

Note: I listened to the audiobook and while I like this narrator, I could not for the life of me remember that for most of the story Gabe is supposed to be 16.

DNF

I wanted to like it because I think the story can be interesting, but I really don't need to read about a teenage boy's erection and odd sexual references.
Strange choices are made in this book.
