The Swan Thieves

I had high hopes for this book since I liked her previous novel, The Historian, but I couldn't get into it. There was too much background on the supposed main character in the beginning that just dragged on and on... By the end when I knew who he was I just felt sorry for him and thought that the author mistreated the serious issue of mental illness and its treatment. I really hated the ending when the main character simply checks himself out and seems to be fine. Maybe she couldn't find a way out of what she had written, but it seemed really weak. With that said, if anyone wants to read it themselves and wants my copy, let me know.
