" Not since Archeron has there been a character who has suffered more than Darling. He'd been beaten, lied on, raped, put in a mental institute, hated by his family, his mother would rather spit on him than anything, been called homosexual ... the list goes one and on. It is one thing to have a character suffer and survive a few hard knocks but this goes way beyond that. Yes, the book had moments that sped by but the nagging over wounds Darling suffered and the fact that he wanted it all kept secret (all those past embarressments he endured), got old fast. I enjoyed the Hunter series so maybe, some time in the future, I will try another of these books but for now, I've had quite enough tortured characters to last a long time. "
