My first Mercedes Lackey book! Unfortunately, I didn’t like it. I liked BITS of it, including the fairy tale-ness of it, but it wasn’t as magically wonderful as I was hoping it’d be. I did like the twist at the end (although it was totally obvious) and I liked the writing style, so I’ll definitely read another [a:Mercedes Lackey|8685|Mercedes Lackey|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1215643156p2/8685.jpg] book.(This mini-review was originally posted here.)
