Durhkanai was so naive, made so many stupid decisions, and gave me so much secondhand embarrassment. I also hate people who are unable to think for themselves and there was so much of that in this story. The prose of this novel is incredibly beautiful, and so it sucks that I hated every part of the plot. I might pick up the sequel because this ended in a cliffhanger, but I don't know if I can be bothered because I hated all but one character.
