I don't really know if there's a lot I can say about this book. The first 100 pages really bored me. I was skipping over words, then full sentences, sometimes even paragraphs, I just couldn't get into any of it. I couldn't and didn't feel anything towards the characters, or the plotline, or the just anything. I seriously debated putting it down and forgetting about the whole thing, but having bought all four books in this series in a bind up, I felt it would be a foolish decision. After the first 100 pages, things seemed to improve. The storyline finally had a spring of action, and I actually got a little more interesting, even if a lot of it was predictable, especially the triangle between the twins and Luc-Andre.Characters wise, the biggest niggle of all was the different names and the complicatedness of them. Some of the names were so unheard of and just absurd in my opinion. Unless I was told how to pronounce them, I gave up about half the names and just skipped past them, and for a children/young teenage book, I was quite shocked that so many of the names would be so pronounciation centred. I was also surprised by how much French language was used. As someone who doesn't know a lot of French, I was quite shocked, but that's a completely personal issue. I also have no feeling towards any of the characters at all. I feel no empathy towards the twins, or towards any of the coven. My only hope is that when I do read the second installment of the series, the characters actually become much interesting.
Generally, this book bored me a lot, and I expected a lot more action than I got, and if I didn't already have the other 3, I'd probably avoid this series quite strongly. However, because I do have the next 3, I will continue with the series in the hope it improves.
Solid 2 Stars.
