Review title: Not very good
Product review: This book had an interesting premise, but the writing is not very good, and the characterizations are sort of flat. I fell victim to the Locus ads that praised this as the most acclaimed fantasy debut of the year. What nonsense. The offerings of both Juliet McKenna and Elizabeth Haydon were far more impressive and got better reviews. I will not read the sequel.
