The Damascened Blade by Barbara Cleverly

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.0

 I'm going to be honest, this one was a rough one to get through. I don't know what it was about this one as compared to the other ones, but it just wasn't as enticing and I found myself having to reread whole paragraphs because I would get lost partway through. In all honesty, I think this one is a 2.5-star book, but out of my love for The Palace Tiger I've rated it a bit higher. I'm really hoping the rest of the series improves.
