Unbound

Rounded down from like a 3.4999. (I really wish Goodreads would incorporate at least a half-point, if not 1/10th...)

I liked the Irish mythology (which is what drew me to the book).

I had a hard time vibing with the MC. Despite knowing she got dealt a pretty bad hand what with the curse and all, I didn't enjoy her whole can't smile/committed to misery schtick. (I am probably not the target market for B&TB or retellings thereof.)

I got tired of the chess analogies. Also, with the intentional anachronisms (readily-available books, pockets, chocolate) why not just call it chess, instead of Fidchell which is an different game entirely?

I think I would have rounded up to 4 if the book were about 25% shorter - it took me quite a while to get through and part of my concluding feelings are a return-on-investment thing.
