4.0
3.4 rounded up
This book appears far more complicated than it really is, due to the use of special language and characters in names, etc. That’s a bit hard to follow, even with the generous explanation given by the author in the beginning (read that!). Yet once that is grasped, the plot smooths out and things become far more straight forward. Two higher class girls, in a civilization surrounded by thick jungles, are childhood playmates and possible future bonds (mates) of the prince brothers. Except no one likes who they should and they are all magi who favs their own unique powers.... and, of course, power speaks. And then they grow up.
Pros:
- Highly Inventive
- Characters are unique and stand apart.
- Nothing is really clear till the final page.... and even then..
Cons:
- High strung, even when it doesn’t need to be.
- Much of it is overly complicated for unknown reasons.
- World building is sparse when introduced, though this is obviously a very different world.
