content: Yes.....Sloppy writing, too many repititions, and a weak plotline that kept disappearing in the steam ......Yes, there was some good developement in characters like Nathanial and Richard, but where was Asher? I feel overwhelmed with periphrial characters that keep gathering around, but we don't know anything about them because we are spending so much time in Anita's bedroom....oh wait, most of the sex wasn't IN the bedroom, and I can honestly say that, metaphysical powers or not, no one can have as much sex as she did and still walk. And I did not like having a murder in the beginning of the story, and then hardly any mention of the details until it was all quickly wrapped up in the last 50 pages.
