Title: fascinating
Product review: The Lady of the Sorrows starts slow, and meanders amiably through its protagonist's sojourn at court. There is a surprise about halfway through the book, after which events speed up considerably and the book becomes an utterly riveting page-turner. It took me several weeks to read the first novel in this trilogy, but I sped through LOTS in about eight hours. Although a summary is provided for the first novel in Dart-Thornton's trilogy, The Ill-Made Mute, it is probably preferable that interested parties read that book first.As in The Ill-Made Mute, Dart-Thornton gives her archaic thesaurus full reign, creating unusually rich descriptions of the characters' surroundings with unusually obscure words. This might be a problem for some readers. I kept a pen and notepad with the book to note down unfamiliar words, but not everyone wants to be tutored during a compelling read, and might find the novel's broad vocabulary distracting.I am writing this review in support of a book I enjoyed.
