This was not a very satisfying book for me because I love both romance and fantasy. It seemed like this would be the best of both worlds. Ah...no.As a fantasy, it doesn't do well at all. While the premise is great, there is very little world building. The weirdest part was when the origin of the "heroes" was explained, but not that of their enemies. It was if just by hearing the name, we should understand all that we (and the main character) needed to know.I wasnt too thrilled with it as a romance either. The main character was well fleshed out but her love interest is moody and handsome. Even now, having finished the story, that's all I can say about him. Talk about your cardboard cutouts.The author obviously had a great time describing sword fights. She devoted pages to that end. It seemed strange to devotemso much time to that effort as nothing else in the book was given that much loving detail.It was good enough to finish, but I won't be reading it again.
