Ah, I really wanted to enjoy this more than I did. I love a adventure quest type story. And maybe this would've been great, but first of it starts of a lot darker and in a completely different setting than the entire rest of the book. I was very confused for a lot of pages, when we just never revisited the setting in the beginning. That part seemed utterly pointless.
But the main reason this book doesn't reach it's potential is that the female lead Marra sucks. She comes across as a typical "born yesterday" trope character. I got the impression initially she was supposed to be a "normal adult" response to YA protagonists, but instead she was just a 30 year old child.
