Helpful Score: 2
This book was a good read, continuing the story of The Ill Made Mute. The heroine rediscovers her looks and her voice, travels to court to report the treasure found under Waterstair, and attempts to discover more about where she comes from. I enjoyed this book and the twists it provided, although there are many stories 'told' by other characters through the book that seem to keep popping up and slowing the pace of the main story line. These stories do seem to add to the readers knowledge as you go along, however some seem pointless and redundant after a while. However, if you can get past that, the rest of the story is engaging.
The second book of the Bitterbynde trilogy. Lots and lots more tromping around, romance, assumed identities, being chased by dangerous and mystical enemies, adventuring around - plus in addition, the tribulations of court society and even more romance...
And I'm not kidding when I say "lots" - it's nearly 600 pages, and I have to admit, although it was good, I was getting a little bit tired of it by the end... I'm currently reading the last book of the trilogy, but not all that fast....
