I liked the story and the language. Seemed a bit old-fashioned to me. I did not always find it very logical, but it appealed to my dramatic and romantic side. Made me feel a little bit like a teenager again, reading in secret all through the night. I read it on my tiny smartphone screen. And the Kindle cover was much better than the one shown here.

An epic battle between light and dark, not the dark of evil but of oblivion and despair. A love story as odd and magical as it is inevitable, and another that has a magic and rightness all its own. A tale of trust and redemption. A truly wonderful book.

Enjoyable beginning, but it collapses into Dead Serious High Fantasy Stuff at the end, with a consequent decrease of liveliness and immediacy. And I usually love Dead Serious High Fantasy Stuff. It just doesn't feel well-integrated here.

I would love a book where the profligate promiscuous wastrel with unexpected talents is a woman.
