This is a beautifully written book that just didn't do it for me. I liked the premise; Hall has a terrific imagination. The prose is beautiful. But I never bonded with main character Karys. I think I'm getting tired of the hero with the massive chip on their shoulder. Karys never lightens up. Some of the secondary characters did, which was a relief. Never bonding with her made for a tough time staying with the plot and keeping up with the world building. This book is a nominee for the Nebula Award. If I were voting, this would be low on my list.
