Query: I wanted to like it,

I wanted to like it, really I did. The plot is fascinating, the characters are interesting, the world is sophisticated. Unfortunately, the book isn't.I had the trilogy recommended to me by numerous people and I eagerly searched out the book to start on a voyage they assured me would hold me spell bound. I wasn't. The prose dragged, the action was far from appealing, and the plot took much too long to pull together for me to want to wait and see where Lisle was taking it.While this book passed my three chapter test (I made it to the third chapter and beyond), ultimately I decided against finishing it. I found other books I was compelled to read while this one merely sat on my bedside stand and collected dust.
