I've ordered a copy from the library - there's one reservation ahead of me but should be able to read it in time.
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
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!
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!!
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.
Sorry this wasn't your cup of tea, better luck next month
