DNF'd at around 35%. I wanted to see if people felt the same as me ... take a look at some of the lower rated reviews and realize that nope I am not the only one!

It felt like someone who writes urban fantasy's first stab at trying to write an epic fantasy. The world-building with no map? C'mon. It took me so long to differentiate the female characters. And for a matriarchal society, it seems like the males still run things kind of. And the ring! Please stop, it's so bad. 

Anyways, she still has some weird power of writing to get me to read until 35%. Maybe if the book was shorter I'd actually suffer through it.
