zbookandtea's review against another edition
3.0
okay so here's the thing, this book was so beautifully written. you felt like you were there, living through every moment, you could hear the music. you were drawn into it and couldn't stop.
BUT
then the author started writing the female character, as almost every male fantasy author writes women. and i was so disappointed.
i was gonna rate it 4/5 because the plot was so good and the story was beautiful, but like i literally cannot get past how most of the female characters were written. :-(

In high school, I loved this book profusely. Another reviewer described it as atmospheric, which is just the word I've been wanting all these years. Unfortunately, though, nostalgia was not enough to save this novel, written with more than one too many adjectives and play-by-play details. I got lost in the middle, trudging my way through the minutiae, wondering where the magic I once cherished had gone. The one redeeming quality of this second read through was the chance to notice the hints building up to a known ending.
