I absolutely loved Leduc's non fiction memoir Disfigured. When I learned she had written fiction, I wanted to read it to. Fantasy is definitely not something I am drawn to and this one I struggled with particularly. The writing is well done for a debut novel. The storyline and characters are what I struggled with. I really felt no connection or interest, but pushed on because I felt as an author Leduc deserves to be recognized.
