This book is a prime example of the Sexy Lamp Test. Replace the absolutely useless twig that is Mare the horse girl with a sexy lamp and the plot does not change. She does nothing for the first 75% of the book and then spends the remaining 25% recovering from the first 75%. 

The most infuriating sentences I read back to back in this book:

"I MUST ESCAPE.

Two long months pass."
