Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta

This book slid across the circulation desk last week when I was checking books in at the library.  Since the jacket described it as "an epic fantasy of ancient magic, feudal intrigue, romance, and bloodshed" I figured it was right up my alley.  And I did enjoy it, but I'm still not sure if I liked it.  The characters were a little inconsistent and the plot and world felt off somehow - as if the book hadn't decided yet if it was fiction or fantasy.  In any case, I can't say I recommend it (especially not for younger readers), but it was a nice distraction for a few hours.
