To Snap a Silver Stem
by Sarah A. Parker
I can't get over how beautiful the prose is. The writing is just so good. But I struggled with Orlaith. She makes terrible decisions and don't align with her motivations. Even giving her allowances for growing up sheltered, her actions are sometimes so frustratingly stupid. It difficult for my brain to marry this beautiful writing with such poor plot decisions. I felt like a few different actions would have led to a stronger story.
There were a few plot points that were abandoned without being fully explained. For example, an emphasis was placed on the traditions of the other kingdom, but then their traditions were not explained or explored. I wanted a little more depth.
That being said, I do love this world, but I don't love all the characters in it.
