I enjoyed the first part of this book but then the book quickly got bogged down in the complicated politics of this fantasy world. Around page 40 I started to struggle with the story and paying attention, by page 107 I gave up. I have read other books by Tuttle and enjoyed them but this one just didn't hold my interest.
There just wasn't enough story here to hook my interest. I did enjoy the heroine somewhat but I was a bit frustrated with her willingness to take on problems that didn't seem all that important in the larger scheme of this world.
There are a lot of characters introduced rather rapidly, which I am never a fan of. Additionally what started off looking like an interesting book about magic quickly changed to a book about politics and war; again not my favorite topics.
Overall this book isn't poorly written and it is somewhat humorous, but the subject matter just didn't hold my interest.
