The Ruby Prince by Beth Brower

Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
I got to page 150, about 1/3 of the way and this just wasn't keeping my interest the way the first book did. Really, there are only two characters from book 1; Wil and Eleanor. It's all new location, all new relationships ... and I'm not liking the characters and the situation is just negative without much hope of a resolution (I assume eventually in book 3 there will be, but I don't think I can stick it out that long). 

One thing that has NOT changed is the unique names ... Drakta, Annan, Ashan, Edvard, Staven, Emmad, Aronee, Zeaad, Allute, Alliet, Aronee, Hannia, Faenan, Kotaah, Emir, Arsaalan, Kiarash, Tameez, Fasseil, Zanntal, Gelareh, Aafsoon ...

Saw the word "purloined" here ... it fits much better here than last time I saw it (Harris and Me). I've also noticed "for all intents and purposes" in many of my reads of late. It was in here.
