What disappoints me the most about this book/book series, is the slowness of the plot.
I really feel like things have been happening just to fill the story. And that the story has SO much unused potential..
I feel like the truly “big” plot happenes when she discoveres her own powers, and fuck it - realizes that she's an angel? Why the heck not. That's my theory at least. There's already been SO many hints that she's different. Her eyes glowed red when she had killed Ollith... She was HEALED by Ollie when she was in the Unseelie Court for the first time... And even Gil told her that she had different powers than a usual Nightmare...
I just can't keep up with the pace. It just seems so predictable, and I've been frustrated about this for the last 3 books.

Secondly, something that also plays into the pacing of the books, is the endless possibilities with Oliver! Why is it JUST now (book 4...) happening something exciting? I waited for this in book 2.
Maybe, in one of their many encounters with the monsters in her dream, Ollie was injured and died, BUT she revives him with her overflow of feelings and powers. But what they hadn't known was that she revived him to live freely, as a person, outside of her dreams?! Then they could date like they were meant to be, all along. I like this so much more.

Lastly, the thing that I was most frustrated about when reading this fourth book, was that Fortuna went back to Collith.. That's just wrong, completely wrong. Another person wrote a review about this earlier, and said that she felt like she was GUILTED into liking Collith. I couldn't have formed it better myself.
I wish either she would go with Laurie, or even more I wish she could get together with Ollie.
I've NEVER read to the fourth book in a series, not knowing if I managed to read the rest because all the books until now disappointed me... There's just so much potential that's not being used, at a way too slow speed.
