A bit of a disappointment for a fantasy novel as part of a trilogy
I was hoping for better than this. This is the first part of a trilogy which takes place in a world relying on "fields" and crystals to fight against monsters (the lyrinx). Tiann, an artisan, is the main character and she gets involved in all sorts of intrigue, along with other major characters, Nish and Irisis. It's over 600 pages of fighting, lust, jealousy, mystical forces, monsters and betrayal. The characters are certainly well-fleshed-out and the story is quite intriguing but it's long, complicated with too much description and a little too much horror for my liking.
