Book description
An interesting book. I wanted to read it because it featured lower-class protagonists, and I kept reading for the same reason. The writing was pretty amateurish, in my opinion. A lot of telling, not a lot of showing, and I often found myself skimming through long interal monologues and passages where whole conversations were glossed over. Fortunately, the strong characters and excellent plot (once you get further into the book, the plot does develop and is well worth the wait) helped balance the book.The heroine, Carys, is pretty interesting and unique-- shes a tightrope dancer, and heavily muscled, described as heavy and lean. Telor, the hero, is attracted to her, but neither of them jump straight into having sex.Carys has a history of physical and sexual abuse, which she seems to think is normal and no big deal, which is probably historically accurate but was a little bit disturbing to read. Still, her attraction to Telor takes some time to build, starting with physical attraction but then quickly becoming romantic attraction because of his kindness, generosity, and honesty. Carys is a smart, determined woman and a dedicated performer, and she quickly adapts herself to her surroundings-- matching others speech patterns, but also quickly seeing that, among kind, honest people that she can (and should) be kind and honest as well.Deris character was an unexpected, but lovely, gem in this novel. Gellis also managed a pretty subtle but effective lesson in what life with a disability is like-- not only being singled out for blame, but the desire to be seen as a whole person and live a full and happy life, as well as needing to contribute to others in order to be happy (ie, not wanting to feel like a burden). Ann and Deri both were excellent characters and Im glad Gellis included them in the plot, since they both had skills and talents that our protagonists lacked.Gellis also managed to swap out the traditional gender roles in this tale: Not only does Carys rescue herself from danger at the beginning of the novel, but she single-handedly rescues Deri and Telor later on, and then her and Ann leave their relative safety to go assist the men. And, through their intelligent plannning, they manage to incapacitate many of the enemy soldiers without killing them, as well as smuggle several of their own soldiers inside the keep. A fun, satisfying read.
