The main character is 16 years old but don't let that fool you. Half way through the book you come to realize this book is not what you thought it was and totally inappropriate for a young teen (although many of today's teens would not be shocked or surprised by the content). All that being said, I did enjoy reading it for the smut that it is. Don't expect to be wowed by inspirational passages and deep characters. It's just a quick read with a little bit of graphic sex thrown in.
I was a little disappointed with this CD. Such a long wait for songs that sound so much like previous recordings in The Books Of Secrets and The Mask And Mirror. I was hoping for newer sounds. Loreena is an outstanding artist nonetheless. It won't stop me from buying her next CD whenever that may be.
I can't really comment too much on this book, because I didn't finish reading it. I read the first few chapters and got very bored with it. That was a few years ago. I still have no interest in finishing it. It's such a shame ... the first four books were wonderful.
