I feel like I wouldn't have picked this up had I just read a description, but I was stuck waiting somewhere and needed to find whatever ebook I could get from the library. (I still don't like ebooks, but in case of emergency, they'll do.)
The edition I read opens with almost an apology from Patricia Briggs about how it's her first novel and she's pretty embarrassed about it. So maybe that disposed me to expect it to be much worse than it actually is. I don't know enough technical things about writing to describe it, but it felt like it was paced a bit weirdly. Not necessarily weirdly clunky like, say, I remember [b:The Big U|2204615|The Big U|Neal Stephenson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1380170455s/2204615.jpg|1973059] being. But I'm not sure I would've even noticed if I hadn't known that it was the first novel.
Non-cliche fantasy with a female heroine. I approve.
