Too many other books I actually *want* to read. But I really liked the sound of the story setup/world/concepts, so I was disappointed that I didn't like the first book more.

I didn't dislike Atticus for the "Gary-Sue" thing, actually I didn't view him as such. I disliked him because he didn't care when bad things happened to humans because of his and/or other immortals actions.
