The Fire Rose

Mercedes Lackey is readable. And that's about all I can say about her. Not sure where the climax is. One of the main characters spent a lot of time searching for a cure for his curse. He finds it, then decides he doesn't need it & lets it be destroyed!? I feel like it makes most of the book pointless. This author excels at weak plot resolutions. I fail to see how she is an award winning author.
