The fantasy and world of this novel are compelling, but the characters are not. There isn't enough tension between Sky and her friends. Even her ex-boyfriend who shunned her had a good reason for doing so, and once he tells her why very early in the story, he's a good guy again. There was so much opportunity to make his motives questionable, but nope! One second he's bad, the next second he's redeemed, and he doesn't disappoint Sky again.

On top of the lack of tension between characters, the main character Sky has no inner conflict either. She's sure what she's doing is "right" and doesn't question herself, which means there's no tension within her, and that's boring too.

I'm 2/3 of the way through this book, past the mid-point twist, and I'm not going to finish it. Without tension between the characters, stories are boring. No matter the cool heists, were-dragons and magic places, without tension everything falls flat and I just don't care enough to finish this story.
