This book was one of the vaguest I have ever read in my life. It started out promisingly and I quite liked the idea of the setting, I tend to enjoy a book set in a quaint English area, thanks to living in one, but after the initial action of the story finished it just wound on and on and on for chapter after chapter. I'm patient, but not that patient. Several important conversations were glossed over later in the book, things that should have been emotional lynch pins and closures, but they were lazily described as being none of Lassair's business. Not only that but Lassair as a character is vague, I don't think I could tell you one personality trait of hers. In a lot of ways I found her a very passive character, despite the fact that she did several things in the book independent of other characters I found her quite a weak presence, possibly because of that. I didn't get to see her through the eyes of anyone else and while I don't think that's necessary in a novel, I think in this one in particular Clare would have benefitted from showing how others see her to give a better impression of her in general. This isn't the first book in the Aelf Fen books, but that's still no excuse to leave such a watery impression of the main protagonist on the reader. In fact she comes across as quite stupid in a couple of scenes, especially because I had figured out what the main plot was several chapters before she did, and also because at one point when one of the other characters i trying to tell her this long kept secret (and taking a frustratingly long time to go about it with hints and snippets of information, making me want to shake the book and shout at it because it was so mind numbingly irritating) she just kind of has a herp derp moment. Then there's the romance that is shoehorned in on page 158. Over halfway into the book we're introduced to Rollo, and literally he and Lassair meet, and kiss and are, apparently, in love. I was so blindsided by this turn that I was sort of incredulously reading every scene he turned up in after that and there weren't even that many. I think he appeared in about four scenes with Lassair in total and yet by the end of the book my impression is that we're supposed to take away that they're soul mates. In a way I liked the idea of this whirlwind romance while they were in danger but it was just handled so clumsily that I couldn't get my head around it. If Rollo had appeared even a couple of times before their chance meeting I would have been a little more forgiving. A lot of the emotional climaxes of the book are skipped over, as I mentioned but I just wanted to highlight one thing in particular that really jumper out at me and annoyed me while I was reading because this is the case in so many books, I just really don't understand what possessed authors to take this tact: 'Sibert wanted him to speak and now he goaded him, accusing him of terrible things from which Hrype flinched, despite himself. Still he would not speak in his own defence, and he had to listen as all the hurt and distress poured out of the young man who stood, tears in his eyes, trembling with tense emotion and brandishing his blade, on the path in front of him.' This is just one paragraph in many of this confrontation and it's all like that, there's no dialogue, we're never told what these terrible things Sibert is accusing Hrype of actually are so I found there was no reason to care, Clare doesn't give Sibert or Hrype enough time in the book to become characters that I cared about and after 176 pages of vague hinting at some terrible family secret -- which is not revealed at this point, where I felt it would have had much more impact than Lassair just being told about it later on -- I was so bored I didn't care anymore. Needless to say I don't think I will be picking up the next in the series, I had high hopes for the book but it didn't meet then unfortunately, not in any sense of the word.

Insightful and engagingly written per usual from Atwood. But I found the whole woman vs. woman story a little...much...and the antagonist to be completely over the top in terms of being the Evil, Manipulative Maneater; from any other writer I'd assume it was a satire but I'm not sure about this one.

Didn't enjoy this and abandoned it after the first few chapters. Life's too short to carry on with books not to my taste!

I really enjoyed "Snow Flower & The Secret Fan" so I picked up this book as it is by the same author. Not as good as "Snow Flower", but I did enjoy it.

I read a book I thought was called "Aztec" by Gary Jennings, but this was the closest I could fin to it. anyways I recommend "Aztec" it's the history of the Atztec's in a well spun story of man who lives through it all. It's the history ( I don't know how accurated the history is) without the textbook jargon that make me want to sleep.

An interesting take on the Race Problem in America in the 1930s because it is set with a sort of science fiction feel to it. However the writing is often a little stilted. It was rather funny though to read Schuyler's scathing descriptions of prominent members both inside and outside of the Harlem Renaissance such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey.
