Well I had so many ideas of things I wanted to say in this review, somehow they've fizzled out now because the middle of the book was so drawn out that I got sooo bored. And that's really dramatic, because it really is a good book.
The structure, the world and the characters are very well done, even if details are missing and you only have Niko's POV. But still really wonderfully written.
Ugh, I just can't get over the fact that the plot-poor passages, which are really filled with super hot nice sex scenes, were still too frustrating for me.
Ok, concentration Dru, you can do this ...
I love the dynamic between Niko and Andreas. Niko is hard to understand at first, he's so volatile, Andreas seems to take a bit to figure him out too. It's so beautiful how he supports him. And how frustrating Niko feels, oh man I suffered so much at the beginning, I wanted to kill all the stupid know-it-all people around him and hang his mother by her hair ... so frustrating.
And how Niko flourishes even though he is so insanely insecure and doesn't want to become dependent on Andreas ... again frustrating how the two of them don't talk to each other sensibly, but oh so beautiful.
The sex and the banter between the two, absolutely delicious.
The finish is fantastic and so is the action that led up to it, it's just a shame that there was so little information about the magic itself, I really missed that, but maybe that's something that will be more prominent in the following books. I have hope ...

I opened my mouth, and Andreas added, “If you’re not about to say, ‘Yes, Andreas, I’ll drink my tea and calm down until you come back,’ don’t say anything at all.”
