I know you can be infatuated with someone almost instantly, but the love just wasn't believable because of how quickly it moved and how it happened. The characters were realistic - I mean, who believes in a curse with no evidence in front of them?! - and I was rooting for them to get a happy ending, despite the crazily fast insta-love (James finds Anamique's diary on a train, and automatically feels as though he's in love with her, just by reading her words on the page). The first short story was so short that it was almost jarring! I just think Anamique's story was so easy to relate to and empathise with, so I really did feel invested in her story and wanted to how it was all going to work out. I like Laini Taylor's writing style, but I think it works a lot better when it's more fleshed out.
