I ordered this book (and the second in the series) after reading the numerous rave reviews here, and I can't remember the last time I was so seriously disappointed and bored by a book. I bought the book several months ago and still pick it up periodically to slough through a few more pages, still hoping to find the magic that everyone else apparently has. To date, I am only half-way through the book. **I devour books. I have read hundreds, if not thousands of books, in my life. In that entire time, I can count on one hand the number of books I have not been able to finish because they were so abyssmal. This book is about to be added to that collection.** I had to add that last bit because even though I can almost always find something to enjoy in a book, this book is defying me to find anything redeemable. The characters are shallow, the story is marginally original, and the world is even less so. And the writing? Ugh. If you are going to write dialect, write it well. If you are going to write a story, well another reviewer put it best - "show, don't tell". I figure so many Amazon reviewers can't be wrong, so you should probably take my review with a grain of salt. But, if you can't look past the problems that I've mentioned with this book, then maybe you should pick this up from the library and skim it before investing in buying it and any others in this series.
