One Dark Window

I like the magic system in this book and think the idea is interesting. However, I found the plot twists and the action of the book very predictable and at times child like.

I also cannot seem to care for any of these characters, perhaps only a little bit about Elm. They either have no personality or are simply clichés (purely evil prince, bethrothed hungry for power, etc.)

I would be interested to see how the story continues, but I don't know if I will read the sequel with these characters and the writing.
