Once Adam & Dulcie unite, their relationship & the cast of characters that surrounded them were, for the most part, engaging. The first 60+ pages of the book is Tom & Ullah's doomed story & sets up the dark side of Adam's character & his white whale, Revanche. It was also refreshing to read a romance where hero & heroine don't dominate every single page. The subplot of Tom & his quadroon wife, Ullah, & the repercussions of their run-in with the villainous Edmund Revanche linked different stages of the story with a measure of cohesion. The main characters of Adam & Dulcie were given ample time to develop, although Adam had more attention with a backstory & more likeable character. It was a good read for about 5/7ths of it.
