Smoke and Shadows - Tanya Huff This had so much promise but the story is boring and slow. I was also very discombobulated with the POV changing from character to character in the middle of dialog or a descriptive paragraph. It was so jarring and confusing I would have to reread the page to figure out where the POV changed. Usually it wasn't even clear. I think remaining with one character's perspective until a section break is as important as punctuation in a book.

I'm also confused about these relationships because two of the characters came from earlier series' but I just don't care enough about anyone in it to stick with it. There is no emotion, no indication of how Tony feels other than when he lusts after someone. In fact, he doesn't react at all at times when logic dictates he should. He feels like a robot; a nice robot, but still a robot.

Then there's the fact that there isn't even a hint of romance. Even UF books with male protagonists written by male authors usually have even a little romance: the character misses/avenges/is hurt by an old flame; he finds a woman attractive but doesn't connect and that leaves him wanting; he is lonely. Things like that.

I really wanted to like this series but I'm so bored.
