I don't like historical fiction so I'll pass. Sounds engaging for fans of history and culture though.

Sounds like a great book, definitely love the historical basis with a complex relationship story as well. Not a fan of the hard to pronounce names just takes a little away from the experience. Otherwise awesome writing style and great review! :techie-studyingbrown:

Your review is more of an allusion rather than an analysis. I do not get a feel for what the book is about. It is, therefore, difficult to see whose culture you refer to and what the historical setting is.

This sounds like an interesting book. It's too bad that it did not flow consistently, but it's great that it is well-edited. I love scenery in books that is well-described. Thanks for a great review!

The inclusion of chants and incantations sounds like a great idea for accurately depicting the old and traditional way of life of the people of this book.
