my complaint is that it had zero forward momentum and no tension that helped me want to get to the end of the book. but once I slogged there, the ending touched my heart so thoroughly that i forgave the book its transgressions. also one more complaint—somehow did not scratch my werewolf itch which is sad (for me) but what can you do
