I don't know what it is about this book that made it harder to get into than the Song of the Lioness or the Protector of the Small series, but it was hard to get into this one. It took me several days to listen to it, and even then, I had a hard time following Dain's story. She's angry at the world and angry at everyone, even if she is being taken care of by some of the best people in the country of Tortall. She is being trained, and she refuses to take anything the older mages to heart, and ends up trying to kill herself (accidentally, to be sure) several times throughout the book. You just want to shake her. 

I think I'll take a break from this one and move back to the Protector of the Small series.
