Title: Not an auspicious introduction to this series
Review: I hadn't read any of this series (or even the author) before, however, I love magic and mysteries, so it sounded like a winner.Unfortunately, this is an exceptionally slooooow read. Our "heroine" is constantly spinning new explanations and accusations, most of which turn out to be mistaken. I can't even figure out which ones she believed, and which ones were bluffs. Basically, her strategy seems to be accuse everyone of everything, and eventually someone will confess.Maybe if I had read the earlier books the Mallory character would have made more sense to me, but I don't think that should have been a requirement.
Is the review positive or negative?
