I really like deep character portrayals, and think that this would make an interesting read for me. Even though this is typically "guy" fantasy, I think I would like it. I am going to hold off on it for awhile though since I have been reading a lot of dark books lately, but this one goes on the list!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-22972811981590493522009-12-19T12:05:26.721-06:002009-12-19T12:05:26.721-06:00I do the same thing with battle scenes.

I just get so confused by them and the switching of the different perspectives that it makes more sense just to look for names up until the end of it. :)Shehttp://www.historyofshe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-80552825102644309672009-12-18T22:59:46.846-06:002009-12-18T22:59:46.846-06:00I love the cover.

Will start again maybe after January with book 2.<br /><br />Rhapsody- Haha, you're so right! It DOES seem made for movies! I think fantasy books are hard to make into movies.
