"ok, slow to start and I wish I paid more attention to the first 50 pages, but I really enjoyed this book. The characters were sad and tragic but heroic and strong and who doesn't love a culture where women are actually honored? I wish there was more story between the "ending" and the epilogue, but..whatever,still liked it...."

    " my mother urged me to read this book since it was her favorite guy gavriel kay book. it took me a few years to force myself to read it. finally, i started reading it but didn't feel like reading it so i left it on a shelf collecting dust. after two months i picked it up again. well, when i finished reading, i was left kind of disappointed. it could have been an ok 'love vs. war' story but the plot was too stretched and sloppy. until the last few pages, almost nothing happened so i must say it was a little boring. but the most disappointing fact was that the plot reminded me of kay's other books. oh well mom, thanks for the recommendation but you are one big romantic...

    " This is the first book I ever read by Kay and its probably the first book I remember reading that left me disappointed that it was over. I wanted it to go on and on. I am now a big fan and can't wait to read everything else he's written. "

    " Historic fantasy at that. I won't say much, but not many books inspire me to write lengthy poetry at 2:30 am. But, the reason I did not give this 5 stars is that I had a bit of difficulty getting into it. "
