Previous reviews suggest that this is very much a love it or hate it book, and reading through it, I can see why. There are things that frustrated me majorly: the two main examples were the constant playing with tenses (which, granted, I finally worked out was about reflecting the main character, Belinda's POV vs anyone else's); and the decision to have a world that's EXACTLY like Elizabethan Europe except that all the names (both country and monarch names) are different but still 100% recognisable as their real world counterparts. The frustration was then compounded by the lack of a map anywhere in the book, so in the first chapter, where the author was throwing country names at me thick and fast, I had no idea which collection of syllables referring to which country what until I got descriptions in later chapters of the major cities there, at which point it became obvious. That said, I did like Belinda as a heroine. She's another in a long line of powerful-but-broken heroines that just appeal to me; and I thought Ms Murphy did a good job of setting up how she became (or was made) so broken in the early chapters. And I also liked some of the B-characters and look forward to finding out more about them in the next book (which, yes, I intend to read since the library has a copy - I'm just not in any rush to do so) I can't honestly think of any one of my friends to whom I'd recommend this book wholeheartedly with the expectation they'd enjoy it - but at the same time, I didn't completely dislike it either. It is, I think, a hard book to categorise, let alone review.
