Malice

Explaining my 1.5 star review. I notice I'm the only one to rate this book so far too so it'll probably get a "huh?" as it was the Morningstar winner. So why 1.5? What annoyed me was the sheer number of characters and the constant too-ing and fro-ing from one character to another. Just as one person is doing something interesting the chapter ends and someone else is doing something boring. Then they start to do something interesting and the chapter ends, and so on... I gave the book up after Chapter 15 which is about 120 pages in, so I think I gave it a fair try. BTW Chapter 15 is only 20% of the book and so far we've had lots of wandering in forests and a lack of anything else much. This is definitely not my cup of tea and there's nothing in it to make me want to persevere, especially when I've got a lot of other books beckoning.
