Happy Birthday to rflong
Funnily enough I've just finished reviewing her book Scroll Thief that I won from her.
Copied and pasted from my Librarything entry (which required me to create the record)
This is an interesting fantasy story. With some very interesting characters and an ending that caught me by surprise.
The story starts with a family dying and a woman swearing revenge. Then moves to a thief stealing something on comission. Both of these events end up being linked and may change the future. It's a world where often Royalty are descendents from a Goddess and sometimes she has a say in their future.
The story features a lot of stock characters but they're stock characters well drawn and with good twists that make them different.
Edited to add some more impressions of the book.
