Bloodring by Faith Hunter

Not Good. My rating for this book deteriorated as the book went on. At first, the concept of Thorne being a neo-mage hiding in plain sight under threat of torture and death if she were caught sounded promising. But the plot was just a hot mess. Where it wasn't dull as dishwater- talking about the day-to-day minutia of working in a jewellery shop- it was confusing to a ridiculous degree. I found myself having to go back and re-read sections constantly because I was totally lost. Normally, I might blame any such confusion on the reader, not the writer, but in this instance I'm pretty sure I was paying attention and it was still a confusing mess.

If you want to read something by this author, go for the UF one: The Jane Yellowrock series. That's a bit of a slow starter too, but once you're into it, it's approximately a bajillion times better than this effort.
