This book
was truly incredible! When I think of fantasy novels, this is what I want.
Dalglish talks in the author’s note at end about not having a complex world
built, but I think he did an amazing job setting everything up. The main
characters are extremely flawed people, and it makes watching their lives
unfold so much more interesting. My emotional connections to several characters
were strong almost immediately. Others took some warming up to. There is a real
rollercoaster of feelings toward several characters. Love and hate blend
wonderfully.
While
this isn’t exactly a mystery, the complete ark of the story isn’t really known
for most of the book. Things are revealed slowly and deliberately. While a few
of the twists are a given, the rest caused interesting things to happen to the
perspective of the story. There is still so much of the world left to explore,
and the next books I hope will unlock it all. Overall I am really happy I swung
by the library on a whim, and even happier the name Dalglish jumped out at me!
