Unwept by Tracy Hickman

2.0

I really wavered between two and three stars, because I would actually give it 2-1/2 if that were allowed, but I've always felt there was a fine line between interestingly intriguing and annoyingly obscure, and this book crossed over it. The girl with amnesia (except for her name) traveling by train to the small town of Gamin, who is told that she is going there to rest and recuperate and has no choice but to trust those who are in charge of her, is an interesting premise, but it just gets too weird and the big reveal (such as it is) comes way too late. This is the first of a series but I think it would have been better if the first and second book had been published as one, since I was left feeling extremely frustrated and not eager for the next installment, as I'm sure the intent was. I also didn't really connect with any of the characters, including the protagonist.
