The Red Queen by Isobelle Carmody

2.0

I didn't have really high expectations of this very long-awaited book in a fantasy series I've been reading since high school - but even my relaxed expectations were not particularly fulfilled. The pace was all over the place - it dragged interminably through the first half as Elspeth indulged in seemingly endless internal monologue, and then the ending thumped out of nowhere. I enjoyed seeing the story reach its conclusion, I liked seeing these characters again - but that's about it.
