I abandoned it about 1/2 way through. I couldn't like the characters enough to invest that much time & energy in finishing the book and I certainly wasn't going to read any others in the series. I felt about this book much as I did when I read the first Thomas Covenant book, Lord Foul's Bane. I actually finished that one because I kept thinking, "surely this is going to get better." But it didn't. The guy just kept whining and moaning about all the ills that befell him -- there was nothing likable about him.

It's rare that I give up on a book. I have been known to set one aside for a very long time and eventually return to it. But Kushiel's Dart is one that I don't think I'll ever finish.
