I just could not get into this book never really felt like picking it up. Although I really liked the first book of the trilogy, I felt like the characters in this book werent even the same people or anyone at all, really. There was a completely different feel to the writing and the poetry just took over. If one is interested in reading over 600 pages of overly flowery and often redundant descriptive phrases, while lovely cardboard characters sigh and languish and wander around on quests that dont seem to go anywhere. well, then please do check this book out.
I found it to be particularly disappointing, because I thought that the first book of the trilogy showed remarkable promise. However, as the story went on all the original and interesting aspects were gradually eliminated, and all the flaws multiplied and took over.
Its too bad but I cant say Ill seek out any more of this authors books.
