review 1: So the truth is that I gave up on this book at 13%. I just figured there are so many books out there that I want to read, there is no point wasting time reading something that isn't working for me.I also knew that I had given up on this before starting the last book I read (volume 2 of The Grisha) but I couldn't mark it as read previously as this would then have been the book that made me hit my reading challenge for the year - and would have made me feel a fraud as I didn't actually finish it.As always, any book that I don't finish only gets 1 star
review 2: I got sucked in by the beautiful cover art. Don't fall for the same trap!!The plot might have been interesting, but it was unfortunately buried by mountains of plodding sentence structure stilted dialogue... more. If you could see past that, you'd also notice lots of oddities. For example, characters who started out as a farm boy and a circus performer suddenly became adept with a sword with little to no practice. A character who had been imprisoned in a dungeon for 3 years is able to ride for long days and fight immediately upon release with no difficulty. Characters who can barely get along are also referred to as "friends." Oh, and the author appears to believe that a single ' is the same as a double " when signifying dialogue.I honestly don't like being harsh in my reviews. However, if I'd read an honest review first, I never would have bothered with this book. less
