Had a heard time getting into this. I had high hopes for this story and thought I would enjoy this. I liked the fact that Jamys was turned very young about 17 or 18, just on cusp of adulthood, and although he was over 700 years old, he was treated like he was a kid by his father and the other warriors. Then there was supposed to be the adventure of finding the jewels so that he would win his own lands to rule so he could make an offer of marriage to Chris who had had fallen in love with three years ago.

It was just very slow going, with several chapters dedicated to Lucen and Samantha (from a prior story), it was interesting but took time away from Jamys and Chris's story and in the end the quest wasn't all the exciting.

Overall I was just disappointed.
