About this book

Female-centric epic fantasy that borrows quite freely from Tolkien. It's not a bad read at all, though it's not that good of one either, mainly due to the flat characters and the predictable plot. But I'll say it's worth reading if you are looking for some epic fantasy fodder with a female lead.
