Firethorn by Sarah Micklem
A solid book, though nothing incredible. I'll give this book points for being a unique take on the fantasy genre, but it just wasn't all that compelling and unfortunately dragged at times. I'm happy I've read it, but I likely won't continue the series.
This one started off slow, but once I got used to the period style, I was hooked, and ended up thoroughly enjoying it, possibly more than I expected. The book is basically a romance set in a sort of alternate medieval times. What little touches of fantasy are present are very subtle. Overall the book is pretty straightforward period literature. Class and the structure of this little society were a big part of the book, and everything was very well drawn, down to the last detail. I'm glad to know it's a planned trilogy... I'm curious to see What Happens Next.… (more)
Meh.
Not enough fantasy elements to really scratch that itch for me, but never committed enough to the romance to fully explore that relationship - this felt like a good idea of a novel that didn't quite get there.
