This was fine. I was expecting the plot and structure of the book to be different, so for the first half I was a little disappointed. There were definitely some endearing moments, but I found myself a bit bored for most of it. Viv's past kept being mentioned, as well as her past self, but I don't think that there was enough established for when she "went back to her old habits" in the third act conflict (honestly, she was just justifiably upset, and, yes, lashed out a bit out of anger and hurt, but it didn't have the implications it stated it did); I think if her more destructive thoughts were more prevalent in the book, then perhaps it would have had more of an impact. Viv's relationship with Tandri was sweet, and I really liked Thimble (the baker). In regards to the conflict of the book, I found it weird that the first part of it was resolved at the halfway mark (
with the Madrigal
), and then shifted to
Fennus
; I just don't like how this was set up. I think that I will read the others in the series if I am ever in the mood for an easy read, but this wasn't anything that will particularly stick with me.
