" Eh, not my cup of tea, which I know is not what people would expect if they read the synopsis. I complain yet again that I don't understand why female authors fell they simply must write in first person. It's obnoxious unless it's done really, really well. The magic didn't have very clear rules and the imagery was probably chaotic on purpose, but it was so chaotic that I didn't really understand what was happening half the time. Character development took a bit too long, but I could forgive that in a first novel. At the end, when things were coming together, it was much better and more entertaining. I'll likely read on since I already own the second, but I'm skeptical. "
