![]() 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. ![]()
