Listening to this on CD... 4.5 stars.
I've completely deleted my other review of this ... it was dumb.
I love this book, can't wait for "Froi of the Exiles" in a few months, and am addicted to MM.

wow...I really love this story. I love how you can fall in love with a male character, not for the physical description of him, but for his actual character...the grit and determination he shows, for the tenderness and humility.
I got so much more out of the story as well..how the curse worked into being a blessing in the end.

It was ridiculous...it was before I became an unabashed MM fangirl. Basically, i think I read it, and just didn't pay attention enough. so I kept thinking there were plot holes and inconsistencies. And I didn't get the part where they open up the walls. Silly me....
It was just a 'meh' review...and now that I've been exposed to all her stuff, I just can't get enough of it.
It really is pure awesome sauce.
