Query: Good, but not Mists

I guess I'm echoing the sentiment of a lot of other readers when I say that this book is very good reading on its own - but, having read Mists first, I was a bit disappointed. The characters just didn't seem to come to life the way they did in Mists (exception - Viviane), and the story did seem to repeat itself. Bottom line: read this one before you read Mists, and you'll like it better. Save the best for last!
