This makes me sad. I was ecstatic to see another Hamilton book. Until I read it. Too much negotiating. Too much therapy talk. What happened to the murder at the beginning? What happened to the magical item? What happened to the big baddie? This wasn't a book I needed. This was a set up book. Since when does she write set up books? This whole thing could have been in the next book, condensed, and I would have been happier. Still a fan, just not a pleased one.
