I received a copy of this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways.

I'm DNFing for now, mostly because I find myself very confused about everything that was happening in the first 15% of the book. This could just be my own stupidity - it wouldn't be surprising! - but I found differentiating the characters to be extremely difficult. It seemed like the author was trying to go for magical, poetic prose, but I ended up more befuddled than anything else, especially about the characters.

Rather than belabor myself to figure things out when I'm getting frustrated, I'm setting this one aside for now. I might try picking it up again later on. ( )
