  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

I hesitated between two and three stars for this one, because even though the premise was really interesting, the story didn't feel engaging at all to me, and reading it eventually became an unpleasant chore. I disliked both Emmett and Lucian, despised Lucian's father and de Havilland, and didn't actually enjoy reading about ANY of the characters with the exception of Seredith, who died very early on. There was way too little about the actual binding and way too much endless angsting. Plus everybody was constantly freezing to death, which for some reason annoyed me immensely.

This book just wasn't a good match for me.
