Negative Positive
Title: Leaves unsatisfied
Review: This book seems to have it all the elements of a successfull work - a plucky heroine, a deep mystery, revelations of unexpected past which should add depth and complexity to the character. Except that they don't. Despite all the travails Dante goes through, I never felt engaged in what happens to her. The characters just never came alive for me - they postured and went through the motions like puppets, rather than representations of real people.
