This is grand-scale and much-acclaimed fantasy and this review is me trying to unpick the reasons it didn't work for me in the end.

(A week ends, but infatuation begins)
Aries, Week 2: Cleaverton, Settling In
Getting settled into my new home has been such a breeze, that I swear this place must have a "smooth sailing" spell on it. A grocery delivery service showed up unannounced at my door the next morning after moving in—courtesy of the village council—as well as a nice welcome basket of jams and teas. Normally a request for magickal supplies might take a couple of weeks, but the confirmation raven that flew in after I placed the order told me I should have everything by Midsday.
