From the outset, you should be aware that the story takes place only on a very small stage. In principle Twylla is all the time in the castle, although once in the tower, although times in their chapel or even in the gardens. Apart from a few flashbacks to the past, it was in terms of the locations of the events.
In this little frame it creates the author in my opinion nevertheless to bring the story to life. Here we have a young girl whose destiny is predetermined and the blends at first glance everything. In this castle there is anything to the fairytale, the Queen ruled with oppression and fear. Even the highest nobles are not sure when they excite their anger in front of her. Deep inside white Twylla that it is only used by the Queen and used as a deadly tool. Therefore in their seething hatred, because they detested their abilities and thus the queen to stand by on call. Yet she has learned to survive, to let it show, and above all, not to attract attention.
Only their new station delivery brings Twyllas habits messed up quite a bit. He shows her that life consists of more than just praying, the executions and docility can be made. There are splendid dialogues between the two in which Twylla is brought to their limits again and again. I liked the way she looks out piece by piece over her nose and takes out also even more freedom.
On the other hand, there is the Prince Merek. For years he was traveling, it is the first time that both meet again in their teens. Their relationship is very special, on the one hand predestined, on the other hand full of complications. I thought it was nice that there is a long time no love triangle. Because of Twyllas position is almost the whole book about anything to shake. Unfortunately, it does not remain so, especially at the end guns were suddenly heavy ascended.
Therefore I had left towards the end with mixed feelings "The Sin Eater's Daughter". Although the book is not bursting with action and especially the character relationships are the focus, I had liked well until the last third. Then follow a few strange events and strange decisions. Unfortunately. Overall, one can end with a little imagination can stand even fairly and does not rely on a (probably following) continued.
Conclusion: Honestly I'm not sure if I "The Sin Eater's Daughter" would have even recommended it to me. One has to be aware that history lives mainly from the interactions between the characters and less of an action-packed plot. Normally I am not of it so the fan, here it is, however, able to convince myself over long distances. Unfortunately, towards the end clouded some bizarre decisions and events then but my overall impression. But ultimately it has given me, in spite of its weaknesses, like.
