There was nothing of the promised hype, and I really despised the characters.

It was nearly a DNF for me and I wrote that I wished I had dropped it because it made me ill when I was done. I got the idea that it was supposed to be a thriller and a big ol’ morality play but the inequality of the Furies punishment was ridiculous. The farther out I got from reading it, the more I agree with your assessment – I didn’t like any of the characters that much (I did like Chase somewhat) and the Furies just seemed cartoonish with the whole, DUN DUN DUN I heard in my head every time they appeared.

Very nice review, loved hearing your comments a lot.

I did not connect with one character and I thought their problems were too trivial for the Furies to take over. The Furies themselves fell short of anything and should have been present more. There is a SLIGHT possibility that I will read the sequel, just to see if the series can redeem itself.
