I heard that if I loved Wildwood Dancing (also by Marillier) I would love this one. that set some pretty unrealistic expectations. One is a YA novel and the other is adult fantasy. I didn't mind the adult topics, nor the story, but I was a little disappointed. The novel started of so slowly. It took me until I was around 100 pages in to really get into it. I just felt it dragged.
After that I couldn't put it down. I might continue with the others in the sevenwaters series, but I'm more intrigued with her newest novel.
I think I hoped for more of the other world she included in Wildwood. Really, this was a well written novel, but just didn't live up to my expectations.
