![]() Thank you Elena for picking this book for us. All the characters in this book have very unique names. MCs - Celyn and Sjurd Gaaah! i can't express how excited i was when i saw the MCs names, they are unique. Maybe, when presented with such wonderfully-imagined fantasy that takes me back to my earliest public library wanderings- plus hot fucking-I can do nowt else but whine, and whine, and whine: If only because those characters-so charmingly-drawn-were never given time to really stretch their legs a bit and be awesome in their own ways before the ruthlessly forward-moving hustle of the tale left them far, far behind. Would this had been 300 pages longer! With more of the Empire, more epic battle, more clever intrigue, more gorgeous settings-and fewer unnecessary (though memorable) side characters in the beginning. A poor meal for a starving reader, and heebus chrahai was I starving. Great story, mind-beautiful, clever, funny, delightful story-but such a meager thing, in the end. As if it were a succulent cut of skirt steak trimmed by an overzealous butcher. ![]() ![]() The story is lean, and dense, but constrained. ![]() I wanted to linger-everywhere-but was not given the chance. What hurly-burly this story was! Filled with beautiful imagery and wit and smexy interludes-honestly, I was in love and in rageface extremis all at once.īecause it was too good. Like an awesome bedtime story as you're falling asleep: over before you want it to be. ![]()
