This book did not sit well with me until about a quarter of the way in. I was bored and dulled and found the back of my eyelids too far more interesting. Something changed though and out of nowhere the story became alive and I seemed to be caught under a spell as it seems a few of our characters were as well. I felt slightly lost and confused journeying into The Promised One. The setup was off for me. What seemed for the story to be following Elizabeth's story was thwarted by random chapter is from the perspective of other characters. I know these characters needed to be introduced but their introduction or I should the point in which they were introduced seemed forced. As if it was thrown in to get the characters brought into the story.
