The comparisons to Tamora Pierce, Megan Whalen Turner and Kristin Cashore are pretty accurate as far as those things go. I don't like to make such comparisons, but I could understand why they were made. This is a straight fantasy; from the Kingdom to the politics and to the structure of the world itself this can't be considered any other way.
There have been varying reports on the characters. Some find them blah, some find them dynamic--they fall in the middle for me. I preferred Isabel before she began to understand who (and what) she was. I found it more intriguing to have her stumbling around in the dark about things. They told her the reason she felt protective of Rokan, but not why. They explained to her about what she was, but not who she was. They spent more time talking around her than to her and it frustrated her.
And she does feel something for Rokan, but she doesn't trust him or that feeling. She questions everything and for that I loved her. Then the truth begins to piece itself together. The growth of character relationships that were emerging suddenly got flung away and we're basically back at the beginning only now at least Isabel understands why she fled.
Rokan...I didn't like or dislike him. He was there and he occasionally made me like him a little more, but then just as easily there is plenty to make me dislike him. Do I think he ever meant anything maliciously? No. Do I think he was selfish and all problems could have been solved if there had been better communication? Yes and yes.
The ending made me a little sad, or that is the revelation about Clarisse (Rokan's sister). I was surprised, but it made sense. More sense than perhaps what eventually ended up happening to Isabel. And no, I don't think Rokan did the right thing. I was completely with his sister--why show mercy to those who would have shown none to you?… (mer)
