Some one please keep me out of half price books. No really the employees are starting to look at me funny. Anyway I was in there the other day and I picked up this book on pure whim. That and the fact that the Mercy Thompson series by Briggs is my all time favorite series.
Sadly this book was disappointing. I am under the impression that it is perhaps her first publish work after that one about the Hob i swear i am going to read one of these days. It shows in the writing, its flat short ans dull. I cant really tell you much about the characters besides that there is a red head empath who was a slave and now trains horses, there is a guy that perhaps is decedent from trees, a rapist prophet, and a drunk or two. The story is about trying to end slavery in a Kingdom we know nothing about that has been at war with another Kingdom we know nothing about.
I actually book the book down and read four other things and went back to the middle and wasn't that lost. Its just very early writing kind of stuff. I would not recommend buying it, but if a huge Briggs fan i would say go to the library.
