I read the sample and it seemed like an interesting story so I bought the book. I would've thoroughly enjoyed this story if I actually liked both the main characters, Gabhran and Rosin. I thought Gabhran was a bit of a brute and not too smart. He blew hot and cold and didn't even stand by Rosin. I did like Rosin in the first few chapters, but when she just didn't hold her tongue and acted really childish in the cottage, I got irritated with her. I didn't think much of Rosin if she could fall for someone who would put a rope around her neck and keep her tethered to a post in the snow. There is masterful and there is cruel. Gabhran's behaviour throughout the story wasn't exactly what I'd call heroic.I just wanted to point out that "drug" is not the past tense of "drag". The past tense of "drag" is "dragged". If it was just once, I wouldn't have minded but it was used 7 times and it just irritated me. Other words that were used incorrectly was "morning" for "mourning" (location 501) and "intension" for "intention" (location 4639).Having said all the above, the story was alright and kept me interested enough to actually finish the book. Funnily enough, though, it's only been 2 days and I had to scan through the whole book to remember how the story went. The thing that I most remembered about this book was the use of the word "drug" instead of "dragged".
