It would take me another 900 pages to address everything wrong with this thing so I'm going to put as much effort into my review as Bloomsbury puts into editing their new fantasy releases and just say that I removed a star from my rating every time someone's hair was an improbable shade of red. But I added a star back for the sexy witch lady, who could've been the only interesting character if this book about religious tolerance and misunderstandings wasn't so obsessed with using cartoonishly evil scumbags to victimise our poor protagonists.
