This ultra-short intro to a series that I will now never read has the pretention to list a 'Dramatis personae' on one early page. Seriously? As if the author wanted to make it as unappealing as possible, she writes it in first person - worst person because it's so annoying and so very limiting. The author admits this because when she changes to another character's PoV, it's in third person. This character is named Caleb and the author is so obsessed with getting him into the story that it makes no sense to have him there and diminishes the female character in the doing. You know from the off that these two are going to get together so there are no surprises at all here. It's trope all the way down, and such a cliché that every main female character just has to have a man to validate her. I all-but worship authors who don't go down that overly-trampled path, but I refuse to travel this one with this author. It served only to make me restless to find another novel to read.
