(In the sense that a very well-written world will lack explanation but be SO UTTERLY CONVINCING that, while you wonder, it is easy to accept the world the way it is.) <br /><br />Based on your review, I think I might want to smack Darcy and Conn, though.

I'm happy too that even with the rocky start this book change it's direction from the all to familiar road. Although I'm a little worried with the characters, it seems like they can push my emotions to the limits especially Conn. But hopefully as it seems like you have eventually forgiven him it would work out for me.
