Too much description! This is the first thought as I read this book. I love the storyline and the originality put into Herculine but really? Half this book was pages upon pages of useless description. I could not keep a clear image in my mind of what was going on because of the wordiness. The back stories of each character were interesting, I especially liked the succubus and incubus' stories. Sabine's was rather dull and uneventful though it did provide a good baseline for how witches act/are organized which I'm sure was its purpose. Overall I would say this book is worth reading if you can get through the details. You may need to skim, I confess I did this on some parts, but it is a wonderful storyline.
