3 stars....although that could be because I was tired while reading some of it...which could definitely distort my opinion. And it took me a long time to finish the book, not necessarily because I didn't like it that much...but I think I might have worn myself out previously.
Anyway....
Get through about the first 45 pages and it will get better! I was kind of hesitant about finishing the book, but because it had such great ratings, I decided to do it. And the book does get better. Something exciting-ish is kind of constantly happening afterwards.
There's a great heroine in the book. There's not really a people love story at all(although I think the second book in the series is more of it). It's somewhat a fantasy book, but the book itself doesn't really revolve around it though...not really. I mean the protag is not magical, and the people she's fighting isn't...(actually it is so hardly a fantasy novel. Hardly!)
But it's a good story about two seemingly nonthreatening count and countess who's mission is to fight the king and protect the Covenant (with the people who are magical) and their own people of Tlanth.
It's not a very popular book, but it is a good one. Amazon has great ratings for the book. 5 stars from like over 250 ratings. That's not shabby. There's a different version that has the 1st and 2nd books combined, which I would probably suggest.

The book sounds interesting enough, I just have to say though, the cover pic makes me laugh for some reason.
okay. Just finished the Host. I really loved it. Maybe more than Twilight??? It was worth the two nonstop days of reading and total neglect of my kids.
And... apparently you've died.
lol...no. NO...
So new reviews you're asking for eh? I will oblige.
Anyways, I loved the host as well. And lucky you for getting to be so up close to her at her signing. I can't believe that your friend camped outside for the tickets. That's what you said right? I actually ended up going to 2 of her signings...the second one we were kind of far...mid room. The first one didn't seem like we were that far. But...I still enjoyed it!
Oh yeah and the cover of this book (Crown Duel)...yeah, kind of funny. I had finally bought the combined 1st and 2nd book Crown Duel book but haven't read the second half yet. I hope it's good.
