Heir to Kale by K.L. Bone

3.0

I was really excited to read this book, the cover is different and eye catching, and the blurb pulled me in.
I enjoyed the storyline, but for some reason I couldn't connect with the characters.
I loved the temple history, tournaments and the people. I really enjoyed the two princess characters, the were strong women. They could kick ass and could give as much as they could take. But for some reason I didn't feel connected to them, they didn't pull me into the story and make me want to keep reading until the last page. I can't pin point a reason for that.
The author's writing was good and descriptive, some of the fighting scenes were amazing. You got a really picture going in your head of what was happening.
I found the talking dogs a bit strange, I know it's a fantasy book but I felt like they didn't fit in with the whole story, and I hate to re-read the first part to see if I was reading the story right.
Overall it was a good book with lots of action packed adventures. Anyone who loves fantasy is sure to love this book!
