The Sin Eater's Daughter by Melinda Salisbury

For four years sixteen-year-old Twylla has lived in the castle of Lormere, the goddess-embodied, whose touch can poison and kill, and hence the Queen's executioner--but when Prince Merek, her betrothed, who is immune to her touch returns to the kingdom she finds herself caught up in palace intrigues, unsure if she can trust him or the bodyguard who claims to love her.

This was an interesting tale. Somewhat predictable at times but still very enjoyable. The characters are likeable and I'm interested to see where it goes next.

If it weren't for the really wonderful narration, I doubt I'd have finished this one. There are really two main problems I had with the story. One is that the main character never really does anything. She just gets buffered about by whoever happens to be closest at the moment. The other problem is that every time the author introduced a really awesome concept to the world, she would later on downplay or negate it. I do not read a fantasy novel to find out magic isn't real. Really, I already knew that.

2 stars for the story.
5 stars for the narration.

3.5/5 stars
I have mixed feelings about this book... There are some parts I really enjoyed and others not so much. Overall, it was enjoyable and I'll probably continue on with the series.

Not rating because I know I've read this but couldn't tell you really anything about it. Can't even remember if I finished the sequel or the final book in the series.
