FABIL usually doesn't let me down but this one just didn't hold up to my expectations. Perhaps it was the style, b/c her use of imagery was amazing and allowed me to 'see' everything she was describing, but her narrative and disjointed sentences made it harder for me to read fluently. I didn't enjoy it at all until pg 200. By the end, I was just glad it was over.
I think she is a talented writer, just not my style. I love JR Ward, early works of Laurell Hamilton, early JD Robb, Rachel Vincent, Carrie Vaughn, Showalter, Kresley Cole and especially Nalini Singh, etc ... So fantasy and science fiction isn't the issue. Maybe it was the lack of romance?? I just feel Ms Sagara doesn't compare to them. If you like them as well, you may want to shy away from this.
