See allVery annoing I-am-not-like-other-girls heroine, but everyone likes her because she can kick asses. And I`m tired of the trope “good military leader=very good with sword”.
Liked: the first half of the book; language; Taskin
Didn`t like: the second half; Mykkael feels like Gary Stue; the actual ride through Hell`s Chasm is one of the most boring things I`ve ever read; princess is also one of the most uninteresting characters; ending is rushed and unsatisfying; non-original romance
Liked: atmosphere, exploration, mystery
Didn`t like: unoriginal romance (two characters of oposite sexes and straight orientation can`t travel together without falling in love. Again). Characters felt shallow.
Liked: Atmosphere, characters, especially bookish introvert Edwin.
Plot and magic where nothing special, so I'm not interested in the next books.
Didn't like: It just me but I'm tired of represetation of introversion and love for books as a self-defence mechanism. And also tired of some stereotypes in the written gay sex.
The second book about the veteran of magical wars (some fifty years ago) who with his squire and pages investigates serial murder of boys.
Disliked: romance, some plotholes
