4.0

I loved the WRITING in this book, but hated everything that happened. Every character is deeply flawed, yet written so well you know exactly why someone does or says something. Vivid, fleshed-out characters drive this story in a little medieval village. Everyone is either bad or awful, but they all have their reasons. The fantastic writing is the only reason I finished this book. Would not recommend.
