Title: Confusing read
Product review: In some ways this is a very typical fantasy story, with mighty battles and political intrigue in a medieval setting. But the heroine, Rysana, is a bit more interesting than the usual young and at-first-incompetent protaganist of these sort of stories, and the magic she specialises in was interesting. There are some good ideas and settings in "The Siege of Arrandin", but I found the story difficult to follow because of the large cast of characters with confusing names. Also, a lot of the siege itself did not make sense to me from a practical point of view. But there has been quite a gap between this book and its sequel "The Treason of Dortrean", so hopefully the author has improved on his writing skills in the meantime.
