I get that this series has its issues, and that some writing choices are mind-numbing and just plain odd, but I sat down and read this 700 page book in two sittings. Troublesome or not, it swept me away and didn’t let me up until the last page. I am deeply disappointed in Morrigan’s resolution, or lack thereof. I hope that if the series continues, she gets more character growth and less trauma. Also, there is no way in hell any kiddo should read this. I’m a sex positive person, but would be seriously pissed if my early teen grabbed this fantasy book from the library when it’s essentially light erotica. But I am decidedly NOT a teen, and enjoyed it a bunch ;)
