You know, someone recommended me this book, I can't remember who, but it's so cliched and silly and frankly boring and totally unbelievable. Standard innocent beauty, called Lady Deformed because she is blind, but with the visage of an angel. Standard assassain warrior husband, who marries her for land. She lies to him, he frets that she had more power in the rel than she does. Standard evil homosexuals (why is chick lit so homo friendly and anything vaguely historical so homophobic? Every gay character is just appalling in any historical romance I have read, and don't get me started on Robin Schone's depiction of gay men!) Anyways, to see her is to fall in love, so he sees her in the broken down tower, immediately falls in love, is jealous of him mens regard of her, she lights up the land with her beauty and wit and gentle sweetness and I'm about to vomit and then she decides to believe her cartoonishly evil brother, that her husband is just pretending to love her so he can desert her and give her great pain, and so she is cold and mean and he leaves, proving her brother right! he is going to desert her and at the point I just got bored and didn't even bother skimming, I just stopped reading. This book clearly didn't do it for me. ( )
