It sounds interesting but from your review it sounds like it was lacking a little something something. Like, it's not bad, but I think from the way people were talking I expected a rave review so maybe I'll wait a little while to read this one. I do like the sounds of the tension and overcoming prejudices held about the clans to work together, though.

It was also kind of strange that this amazing warrior who can fight through broken ribs is actually pretty docile during her captivity?

No way you're running full tilt into battle like that. I find few that authors actually portray injury realistically, but I guess our stories and heroes would be a lot less impressive if they did :P Anyway, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the book despite these realism hiccups that took you out a bit!<br /><br />~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctumBiblioSanctumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910858361017908691noreply@blogger.com
