Joan I've ordered a copy from the library - there's one reservation ahead of me but should be able to read it in time.

Chris Stanley (christinelstanley) | 922 comments That's pretty good Joan, the waiting list on at my library was much longer. I bought my copy as I expect to keep it and read again

Chris Stanley (christinelstanley) | 922 comments OMG! Has anyone made a start on this yet? It's good, but so cruel. I'm half way-ish and will probably finish it tonight. I'd be interested in what others think of this one!

Chris Stanley (christinelstanley) | 922 comments I finished this a day or so ago and wow! Very imaginative, but dark. At one point (chapter 8 ish I think) I had to put it down because the cruelty was more than I could stomach, but once past that, great story. Fantasy fiction that really makes you think! Great stuff!!

Joan Disappointed in this book after hearing so many good reviews from different people. I thought the story could have developed far more. Maybe I expected too much - Fantasy is not my number one choice in a book.

it doesn't look my kind of book that I would typically go for but if manage to pick up a copy then I will give it a bash. I do like epic fantasy books. :P
