Personal rating:
I loved, had no plans to read it and just wanted to take a look but the novel attracted me so much that I read until the end in English class.
The players are very good. They have great character and very stubborn. She is a very intelligent woman who carries the weigh all of the duchy and managed very well. She is a woman to take up arms and with his good use of language managed to conquer all.
Adrian is a 25 year old that the various events that have happened seems much larger than it actually is. It's very grumpy, quiet and although it does not seem too is kind, funny, ...
The secondaries are very good and not dispense of any missing since if any novel would not be the same. The king's character shows a very human and close. The friends and servants of the couple are very charismatic on all the knights of Adrian and his genuine squire. The bad guys are also wonderful, wildly wicked, selfish, with the madness and just enough good reasons to be credible they are.
The novel is narrated beautifully, with dialogue entertaining and full of spark.
The only negative I found in the novel is that in the last part (about 100 pages) I find it rather slow and abused a lot of hot scenes.
In short it is a great novel. With very common initial plot but as it develops and gets you really can not quit reading. With refreshing characters and especially with some bad almost perfect.
Global rating: 8.5
