This book is more of a 2.5 star read. I read the second book of the series back in high school and loved it; however, I did not realize it was part of a series until years later. I do not know if I would have given this book such a low rating had I read it back in high-school with the other one or if the second book really is that much better. Overall, this book bored me until the last 100 pages and then confused me for the last 50. I thought Gwyn was an interesting character and I did like how she bucked the system and did what she thought was right. I did not like how she seemed to become "weaker" and more unsure of herself after Jackaroo was introduced to the story. I also would classify this more as a historical fiction taking place in an unknown land rather than fantasy. I am glad I picked this one up but I will probably not be finishing the series.
