Helpful Score: 3

I've had this on my TBR for awhile, and needing a change of pace from my regular romances, I picked this one up. Keep in mind the whole story is from the heroine's perspective. --I'm not terribly fond of novels in first person, but I made my self stick with this one... And with the exception of 2 cutesy moments, I have to say I'm glad I did! It was a good fantasy story, with a deatil-rich world with plenty of engaging characters!!

There were only a few real downsides...The first that the book's a bit tame description wise... Not as action oriented as I'm used to... (though there are some violent scenes! )Even the bad stuff is described in such a way that I didn't really feel connected to it....

And on the romance front (and this may be a bit of a spoiler), I think the build up of the love story was subtle, but I enjoyed it more than when the two main characters came together... I'm not sure Ms Snyder really knows how to write a romance as those scenes felt a bit rushed!


Other than those qualms, the overall story was a good one, and kept my attention the whole way through... and I can't wait to get to the next one!
