This
bestseller hit all the traditional high fantasy tropes: royal orphan hero,
spooky sorceress villain, criminal yet dashing love interest, et cetera. Some
of these tropes were executed poorly (I am SO BORED of heroines falling in
love with terse-voiced kidnappers within the first two chapters). Some were
interesting but uneven (apparently this fantasy kingdom is a post-American
utopia, which is sometimes cool and sometimes weirdly over-described). All
that aside, the plot was reasonably captivating and I will probably pick up
book 2.
