I've given this 181 pages but I think I'm going to stop.

I loved When the Moon Hatched and it feels like the writing style improved between this one and that one. It has the same kind of overly descriptive, florid sort of language but it felt better controlled in WTMH. It's feeling OTT in this one.

I'm not especially enjoying the main character, Orlaith. She's a bit annoying. I know she's young and immature and not left her castle, but the more this goes on the less I'm liking her.

I am feeling kind of uncomfortable with the lusting after Rhordyn, it's not a relationship I can get behind in any romantic sense, any kind of sexual feeling she has for him is kind of icky to me.

I'm vaguely intrigued about what is going on but I can't keep going at this glacial pace, especially when it appears from other reviews that I'm still not going to find anything out in this book.

So, I'm done, ta.
