I am really glad, I started with part 2 of the series, because definitely book 1 is not for me. I already hate it before the two main characters meet and no matter how great and beautiful Whisper (the assassin) might be and although I know he will not complete his 6th job killing prince Julien, I am not able to enjoy his love story knowing that he killed 5 other people to get to this point. It's a no go for me dnf@5%
