And I will probably end up reviewing it more thoroughly elsewhere. The short version: Rawn returns to second-world fantasy with her old talent for writing character and interaction, but a meandering narrative and a protagonist who, while interesting, is never quite likable. And since we spend most of the time in his POV...
I don't discommend it - it's definitely worth a look - but I'm not ragingly enthusiastic, either.
Haven't slept tonight. Still too keyed-up from HOBBIT. Sometimes I think I should be taken out and shot as No Use To Myself, honestly.
