Can't be doing with it. Confucius was all about control and forms of government.

not my fave gh novel, but who knows- i may grow to love it more with a re-read or two (that seems to happen a lot for me with ns books).
i really liked the build-up. i'd much rather have a slow (but it didn't drag and get boring- this one simmered if that makes any sense) romance rather than a bang, i love you. they waited because naasir refused to go against her vows and do anything before he found the grimoire, and i found that it made everything more intense. though i do have to say i think i liked the build-up more than the actual boom.
random tidbits:
if you like jason, he's in here a lot. no mahiya (boooooooo, i love them together). and i was kind of surprised that janvier/ash weren't in here much, because i thought they were very close with naasir, and because …

not a huge fan of the epilogue. though it was interesting and definitely important, it felt more like a setup for the next novel rather than closure for this one, and i was offended on naasir/andromeda's behalf. i had to go back and re-read the last chapter afterwards.

I kept waiting for it to get better, but it didn't, really.
There were almost no Jared/Claire scenes. How can you have a romance when you don't see the romantic interests interacting? And supposedly they're still in love... but I see no evidence of it, aside from the scene where they count "huns" together. And what about from when they were dating? There's little to no memories or flashbacks written in that talk about why they loved each other.
I thought a he said/she said would have been nice, with Jared's perspective.
Claire was annoying and whiny, and I kept waiting for her friends to drop her butt.
The end was just a "wham-bam, i love you, m'aam," and nothing more.
