Emperor Mage by Tamora Pierce
3.0

And the grand re-read continues. I wanted to like this one more, but I just didn't. I think it was a combination of Carthak and slaves and the meddlesome but not powerful enough Gods. Daine was just twisted and pulled until exploding made sense. There were good bits in between, Daine with the birds, Daine with the Prince, but not enough of those. Still readable, just not quite as enjoyable. 3.5 of 5.
