Dreamy. I listened to this audio book while traveling and found the reader's voice soothing and the author's tendency to over describe a nice lulling tone during the half-awake state of a long-haul flight.
I think it's saying something that upon leaving the book in a different place than usual, it took me two/three months to conjure the effort to go find it and finish it. I will not be continuing with this series any longer, this book just destroyed all hopes I had of it picking up the further it went. I don't mind flowery language, however, this was far too much (worse even than the first book) and the plot (of what little there was) was lost. Along with the cringeworthy love interest, progressively irritating main character and everything being bogged down by mediocre fables I struggled to finish this book, and contented myself with speed scanning the last two-thirds of the book - although I wouldn't have bothered with even that if it wasn't for my slightly neurotic goal to finish all the books I start.
An enjoyable continuation of the story started in The Ill-Made Mute. Dart-Thornton still has a regrettable tendency to overwrite, as if she's thumbing through her thesaurus all the time. The romance aspect of the book is a little overwrought as well.
