Search - Myrren's Gift (Quickening, Bk 1)

McIntosh has some talent, and the story kept me wanting to read it, but parts of the plot, characterizations and writing were so clunky and clumsy that I kept wanting to quit. I don't plan to read the rest of this series, but if she's still writing in five years, I may come back to this author and see how she's improved.

It starts off as a good fantasy book however, it took a turn I don't usually enjoy in my books so I did not finish it (of course I can't tell you what that turn was as it's part of the twists and turns of the book). However, the little I read was a good book and promises to continue to be a good book with characters you can enjoy and cheer for or boo and hiss at. It's the first in a series and I only have this one, not the others which I believe the second is already out so if you enjoy this one, you can immediately get the second book.

This was a good read and had some great turns and surprises.
