squishies's review against another edition
3.0
While it was interesting and lots of stuff happens, I felt that the pacing was a bit slow (probably that's why it took me ages to finish). Also interested to see if Rhodes ties up the loose ends in the second book.
I loved how the close the Farbranches were (thanks to the slow pace, it gave quite a bit of depth to the family) and they were convincing as a family.
Not so much Sevryn and Rivergrace's love for each other. I don't know if I've been corrupted by those trashy romance novels I read, but I felt that their relationship was a bit stiff and awkward... Maybe a bit forced too, as if Rhodes was holding two dolls and making them kiss by smooshing their faces together. Actually, there was even less chemistry between them than that! Jeredon and Nutmeg has more tension / chemistry than they do.

Spoiler
I know this sounds awful, but I am a bit peeved Sevryn came back.
