I'm not sure if this is because I cheated and knew Jules was the culprit, but the story insisting that it's Elliott who's totally EVIL seems like a dead herring to me. Maybe because his evilness is so out of the blue and sort of makes no sense to me.
I also don't get how Dabria was so important if the showdown ends up being between Nora, Patch, and Chauncey. And even then, Cauncey's defeat is about as stupid as the villain's defeat in Evermore. It's so anti-climactic and nothing else needs to happen after this. AURGH! Unnecessary sequels are unnecessary.
How dark is Patch supposed to be again? The cover art for the novel is B/W, so no telling of anything, and in the comic cover he's pretty light-skinned. "Tanned as a Spaniard" doesn't tell me anything AT ALL.
