The Cassaforte Chronicles
review 1: The male professional's female relative! An inauspicious title. But I liked it more than I thought I would! The middle third was particularly jazzy; the rest wan't that strong, and there was some chosen-one nonsense, but I liked the unlikely defenders standing for their cazas and everyone punting everywhere, and the fact that Risa was flawed. And not only in that "oh that beautiful princess is so clumsy, how adorable" kind of way, but in a way that sometimes hurt her relationships. So! Strong! I don't know if I'd read the sequel - the most interesting thing likely to happen in that city already happened in book 1 - but I'd try other books by Briceland.

I began trying to read faster and then resorted to scan-reading as if speed could somehow help me find some place in the story where I would become hooked. But it never happened.
