I liked this one about as much as I liked The Chosen And The Beautiful, which is to say, not a lot. They feel similar - they both meander, talk vaguely about never-elaborated-on magic, and conclude in a rush that introduces a whole new element to the story that had previously lay dormant and unexplored. 

The writing is beautiful, but it's a shame it doesn't go much of anywhere.
