The Sin Eater's Daughter by Melinda Salisbury
3.0

Full review and more on Heir of Glitter.

The first half of this book was amazing, but early in the second half a twist was revealed that I didn't really like. In the end I was just confused, and I didn't really love any of the main characters or the romance. Compared to the praise I've heard, this book was a bit of a disappointment to me, but if you haven't read it definitely give it a shot. :)

Okay, so Twylla never had a poisonous touch. How does that work? I know it was explained, but to me it doesn't make sense. People don't just develop deadly touches, and I don't think the queen would've let a clueless child walk around with that sort of ability. And on that note, the queen is freaking crazy. Marrying her son? Killing her husband? Summoning the descendant of a cursed prince to further your power? All of that is just bad juju, especially the summoning part. YOU NEVER SUMMON ANYONE OR ANYTHING BECAUSE IT NEVER ENDS WELL. That applies to every book and movie and other thing ever. Just saying...
