The text is easy and pleasant to read. The beginning is difficult to read, however, because of Rodrigo's attitude. As the synopsis says, petulant, selfish, and uncaring. All he cares about is inheriting the throne. After his uncle usurps the throne, he must win over the allegiance of the Council of State and also the Still, a mystical power. I skimmed to the end. Rodrigo grows in character. If you're able to get through the first parts of the novel, when Rodrigo is still a spoiled, unlikable character, I think this would be an enjoyable read.
