I read this a long time ago and can't even remember what the book was about. All I know is that I LOVED it and every time I go into a book store I look to see if there are any other books by this author. I could never find one until I logged on here and saw that there are two more books in this series!! Super excited to read them

This book is a victim of its own fans. Going in I was being told how life changing and beautiful this book was, and I have to say after four or five chapters I gave up. Nothing about the main character or the world was anything new to me. All that's been done is you took a generic bard character from a D&D campaign and given them a rouge's tragic backstory.
I can get settled and follow along with a long story like American gods or the first Dune book, but this one didn't have a hook. The stuff I read was well writing but I didn't feel like I had anything to look forward too.

gracias a mr kun leí este libro y la verdad es que me ha encantado, y necesito saber mas, asi que voy a por el segundo.

De todas formas (mr kun deja de leer), no puedo darle 5 estrellas porque no se puede. En primer lugar, este señor patrick es la persona mas cursi y romanticona y pastelosa que me he topado en mi vida, su signo es cancer y eso me hizo cuadrar algunas cosas. A mi tambien me gusta una buena cursilada a tiempo, pero a veces era tan retorcidamente pasteloso que me daba risa.
En segundo lugar, la historia de magia y x ahi me encanta, pero pq diablos metes un DRAGON y luego dices q parece un anfibio y le quitas toda la gracia, ya q metes putos dragones q esten toda la historia y sea increible no lo entiendo
En tercer lugar, esperaba mas magia, mas cosas fantasiosas, mas cosas magicas todo el rato

el principio me costo arrancar, luego en la ciudad tambien me costó un poco, luego la universidad lo amé y luego la expedicion final a ese pueblo tambien me aburrió más, de todas formas quiero continuar
