3.0

This was hard to get through for me.  I didn't like the fact the main character was instantly the best at magic, I hated the verbally abusive love interest, there was a sex scene that came out of nowhere that seemed out of place,  the story was too complicated.  I liked the premise and some of the writing,  but it was way too long.

Although I was unprepared for the amount of fighting and gore of this book, it was one of the best fantasy adventures with a splash of spice and romance I've ever read. I'd recommend this to all fantasy adventure lovers!
