Scorpion

2.5 stars

I think my ambivalence toward this book is partially due to my tastes. I'm not a huge fan of fantasy or historicals, so this book was already at a disadvantage with me.

I liked Kendras, but I had a lot of trouble feeling the connection between him and the other characters. I mean, the book told me he had these people he was close to, but I didn't believe it. The biggest problem for me, though, was that there was too much focus on politics, which I didn't care all that much about. It looks like that will be the main focus of the next book, so I can safely say I won't be continuing the series.
