it was ok
bookshelves: young-adult

Let me first say that I love Robin McKinley. I think she is an excellent writer. I loved Beauty and many of her other works. I don't know if it was my mood, but I just couldn't get into this book. I kind of felt that the editing was not clean enough- first of all, the whole setting is a new world, and was explained so slowly as to be excruciating. I felt the book kept going from present to past in a way that was distracting. I wish that the world would have made sense quicker and that the book opened with Chalice getting her calling. That would have been a lot more smooth for me. I still highly recommend Robin McKinley- she is excellent at characters and developing worlds. I wouldn't dicourage you from trying this book either, you might love it.
