I was drawn in by the cover design with this one and the description sounded quite intriguing. This isn't normally my kind of thing, I'm normally a contemporary kind of person when it comes to books but I thought I'd give it a try and I've just finished a couple of fantasy books that I actually enjoyed (after trying a lot of fantasy books), but I'm not sure how I feel about this book from this opening extract. Maybe I need to read more into it to make a proper decision.
