Sacrati by Kate Sherwood
3.0
This had quite a promising beginning (hence the third star). But really, once you read a certain series *coughs* you can't go back. Everything else just falls short.
Even though Sacrati has unique ideas and nice angsty misunderstandings (and, later, fluff) marking Finnvid and Theos' relationship, it does not make up for the other elements of the novel. By the time I was a third through this, I could feel myself growing bored. It is but a pale imitation of the honor codes and contrasting power systems and political deceit of Captive Prince, but far less anticlimactic, and a whole lot more confusing. While the premise was simple, it dragged on for 400 pages.
Good? Bad? I honestly can't tell. I only know that this doesn't compare. But, oh well. A read is a read. 'Tis time to move on.
