Yes. I loved the plot. The author made an informed decision not to include a character list, but I do think it limits his audience. Thanks.

I find editing issues a turn off but this book has an interesting premise. I might decide to pick it up soon. Thanks
Feeling upset sometimes may be unavoidable, but acting distressed is always optional.

This book sounds like it had some good points, such as action and plot, but the numerous characters with long foreign names and a second name would be very confusing. I think the use of foreign or made up words needs to be explained or why else include them. Your review was a good assessment of the book and reminds me that I would rather read a book of fantasy that doesn't take so much thinking!

I definitely understand. If you do pick it up, I hope you enjoy. Thanks for your comment.

Every once in a while, I don't mind an involved science fiction or fantasy. This one was just too complex when it came to the characters and relationships. The plot was great, though. Thanks for commenting.

Well, I would get confused by all the characters with complicated names. The plot also didn't really catch my interest either, so I'll pass on this book. Great review, though!

Thanks. :) I do wish it had been a bit easier to decipher.
