it was ok
bookshelves: fantasy, read-in-2012, tried-reading

For me, this book would have benefitted from a lot of cutting. The author is a historian and it shows in the detailed descriptions of everything from what they were eating or wearing to what they were discussing. I felt no affinity for the characters and by the time I got through the first third of the book I was tired of them.

I have to admit that for me, unless the book is very well-written, narration in the first person distances me from the story.
