Did someone say 'pretty boys and murder??'

I suppose this is more of a personal preference but I would have preferred to be thrown straight into the action, rather than having someone ramble and reflect about prophecies, time and story-telling. But then it gets really cool, I really like the relationship Tabitha has with her mentor, and the fact that they both know he predicted his death for real this time. Super interesting. I wonder if he's evil and Tabitha will maybe be the one to have to do it...
