Wolfkin - Emily Veinglory It's an almost perfect fantasy. The problem in my view? It's a fantasy book... that's the problem

Let me explain what I'm trying to say. I think this book have an amazing world. I'm not an arrogant reader but I read many and fantasy is a genre I go nuts, so I read many.
What I love most in fantasy (or sci-fi, my BIGGEST passion) is the strange lands, mythical or completely new creatures.
This book have it, and I love it! But it's all just sooooooo superficial explained... and it's a pity. Seems like the writer was in a very rush to tell us too much, and a good example is a final scene in the temple that is so short, that seems not completed.
The main characters too. Both are not explained as I would like to read in a fantasy book.

Arun, the human, priesthood is not deep explained. He will be a whining guy to the reader eyes, because he will talk all the time about his darkness, what he lost... again and again, always... up to the end of the book. It's the angst of the story, I know, this behave will keep him away from the wolfkin (Trae), I know... but god, he really annoy me, and I think it's because I have no idea how strong is the religion to that society. I must admit I didn't like him. Unfortunately it's true... I didn't enjoy his narration, and didn't think Trae deserve to be in love with him.

Trae, the beautiful Wolfkin (more or less like a shifter) unfortunately look like a secondary character to me. He was set aside, and I finish the story without know about his race. He will be there, also as a narrator, but it's not even close to be enough to satisfy my curiosity.

So yes, maybe I should give more stars because I really like this story, but I can't. I think this book, and this amazing world with witchcraft and great creatures deserve to be better explained. It has a great potential, but got lost, somewhere, between Arun whining/annoying narration.
