The Falcon Throne by Karen Miller
3.0
I'm going to hold off rating this book until I have had some more time to decide what I think about it.
It took me a while to get into, but after that it was pretty compelling.
My main issue with the book may mostly be due to personal taste. There were quite a few POV characters throughout the book and I found some of them far more interesting than others. While very few of the characters are paragons of morality, I found the more morally ambiguous ones to be more engaging while some of the other characters (who were possibly supposed to be more likeable?) I just couldn't bring myself to care so much about. For instance, I didn't really care for Roric but found Vidar, Humbert and Lindara well drawn and interesting to read about.
Unfortunately,none of the characters I found most interesting still lived by the end of the book . However, I assume Miller will introduce more characters in the next book that are hopefully equally as well drawn.
This book will probably hit the spot for a fair few 'Song of Ice and Fire' fans and I will definitely look into Miller's other books.
