Liked it overall, some parts better than others. Going to go on to the next book in the series.
First mini-review on Goodreads. Hope to become more involved with the site when I have more time.
I'd like to read this again, because there's a lot here to like but I just didn't really click with it. I enjoyed her later work more. The dialogue here is a little heavy-handed and stilted; and although I like that the second book focuses on the women, it's a lil frustrating that it basically retreads the first. But it feels weird to complain about such a great author bc I know the next fantasy I read is probably not going to be at her level.
Also the repetitive names drove me a little nuts. Morgon, Morgol, Hel, Hed-- enuf!!
