Lilith Satincrow is one of my favorite authors, and she is amazing at world building and character developing.  The Hedgwitch Queen was no exception.Ok first yes sometimes i thought Vianne could be a little dumb, but then if you think about it, Vianne was actually quite ambitious (yes even though she didn't want the crown) for her time period.  Take away the magic and she was still an old world court female, who is expected to faint, flirt and be empty headed.  The fact that she wasn't a 'modern day' butt kicking heroine made the story more real, and I enjoyed following her as she grew into someone who I could see be the queen.The story was full of intrigue and court politics, bandits and secrets within secrets.  I felt like Tristan remained aloof and secretive even at the end... then I discovered that The Bandit King (June 2012) was in his point of view and I realized why Saintcrow held his cards so close to the chest... The Bandit King is going to be him owning up to his sins, we will finally get to see from his point of view, as well as Vianne when we're not in her head.Give this series a chance, its fun and violent, Vianne is growing and the secondary characters are amazing.  The price of 2.99 is also well worth it, if your a Saintcrow fan, this is a little different but still worthy of her.
