Title: Two stars for managing to think of using Tsarist Russia in fantasy
Review: The author deserves credit for developing a Russian-themed world as the background for her story. The curse of the principal character is also interesting.And that's about it.Extraordinarily sparse characters and a pointless and uninteresting plot combine to render this book an utter waste of time and money.I'd rather re-read one of the latter Wheel of Time books than finish this book, let alone continue with the series. That's how bad it is.
