My main criticism of the predecessor of which was designed Cassel too feminine. This has made the author in this book better. The would be for this book that just lacks that certain something. Do not get me wrong, the book itself was good - otherwise I would not have been four star - but it is not enough by far ran to the predecessor. Acted "White Cat" by Cassel and the discovery of his skills, this book is deciding what he makes of it. I can not tell you why I was not so enthusiastic, apart from the fact that with the exception of the output of the book everything else was fairly predictable (the murderer of his brother, the disappearance of the Curse-Worker). This maybe that the entire book in question amounts that he decides who he will work in the future, only to then present rather unspectacular, for whom he has opted. The only thing that has really reconciled me was the constant ups and downs in the personal relationships not only between Cassel and Lila but also between Cassel and his family - this love / hate creates the author really bring to paper and especially why is Cassel and his story so intriguing that although this book was a bit weak, I'm the next in this series Blackheart (Curse Workers) read carefully.
