the good: first-person style, character depth, and 300 pages.the bad: to much depth and not enough meat to the story. very dry and slow moving. little happens over months. kept in dark over something that wasn't that big of a deal. parents were worthless uncle a rapist. makes out most men to be rapists. makes out most ppl to be horrible ppl. constant downer. nothing happy happens can't even feel bad for ppl as they are all made out to be bad ppl. the whole book can be summed up in a paragraph and you wouldn't care for the details.example:parents of ten yr old girl have kept her locked in the attic all her life lying to her that she was the cause of a great plague that killed many ppl. her uncle tries to rape her in the bathtub at 10yrs old. the next day she is blinded by her own parents after killing her uncle and sewing her eyes shut. her father hung for murder and she then lives the next three years as a blind girl shut in the a attic until Mother falls ill. after starving for 3days the blind non taught 13yr old finds her way to a crippled dying mother and has to go outside blind for the first time in her life to get the doctor that blinded her to help her mom. she is suddenly cured from the plague and can go to school. she meets 2 friends and the doctors assistant constantly says on her for her mom. her mom pays a warrior woman to keep her safe. everything goes to shell and she learns she is a healer. but healers are whores and the enemies of their kingdom. so she is treated like a whore at 13yrs old. they eventually get caught go before the king and she gets sent to the place she was constantly trying to stay away from the whole time. the "healing" only works on men and through sex.she was nearly raped 3 times in this book. I don't see the fun in reading this book. it is sickening and I hope no mother let's their daughters read this. there is no magical powers and they never once showed someone healed after sex with a healer so it's all hearsay. the adult healer charges more than any prostitute or playbook bunny would charge. it's like 3-4yrs worth of your salary. prob on average today would be $160,000 for 1 hour. seems a bit extreme. I was hoping it would lighten up by the end but it doesn't....I'm not buying the next book.
