The Named by Marianne Curley

Intriguing plot. Brilliant ideas of a new world. An ending somewhat satisfied.
BUT ...
The world building is lacking ... The explanation on time, on the 2nd world and on how things come to be is not very well done. We get to know things on the surface,and I hate that! I like to know everything there is to know and more.
The character's development is also lacking for lots of characters. So far, Ethan the main boy is the only one I like, mostly because his actions made senses. The rest, they aren't really relateable ...
And the romance department? gosh... soul-FREAKING-mates.. for everyone!!
"I don't know. I get the feeling, that's all, as if we know each other or something."
That is pretty much the lovestory line ...
I just want to scream : "NO dude! you're supposed to get to know her THEN fall in love! If all you see is her pretty face, then that your hormones talking! not destiny!!!" And it happens to every single character ...
