I didn't expect to like this book. I mean, Sandmen? The last time I even heard that word was when I was six and had trouble sleeping. My parents would tell me to talk to the Sandman until I feel asleep. Yeah, right. But as I started the book I was introduced to something heart-wrenching. The pain of losing a loved one and the regrets, could've,should've,would've. Everyone gets these feelings, why couldn't Sandmen? Although he insisted he wasn't human anymore, Eron had human feelings and emotions. He still cared for the beings he kept watch over. Eron was my favorite character in this book. Julia was another person one could relate to but she was still confused about who she was and what niche she fell into. After the death of her boyfriend, Griffin, she changes as a person. Griffin was another interesting character. In the beginning you didn't think he cared for Julia but over time you realized he did. He didn't realize what was best for her. Enough of my rambling. The point is, this book had awesome characters, a great storyline and it was fast read. Definitely pick this one up in the future!
