I found most of the characters so unrealistic as I did much of the story line. Now fantasy novels are fine, but a fantasy novel that expects to be taken seriously is just not something I can enjoy.
This book was disappointing and I agree that the characters didn't ring true. I spent half the book wanting to slap sense into the main character. I do want to to read Bel Canto, it's on my library hold list.
