Evaluate Regarding Books Frostflower And Thorn (Frostflower #1)
One of the first sword and sorceress type novels I remember reading.

The best part of this book is the world. Karr really thought it out- the social classes, the magical systems, the theologies, and the economics. It's basically a spin on feudal, but with the towns more independent. The prejudice against the sorcerers is rampant, partly because their theology differs from most (most are polytheists; the sorcerers are monotheists), and because of their power.

A great fantasy novel, not one of your usual thud and blunder swordfests. Feminist in tone!

Frostflower and Thorn is what I would call a stripped-down fantasy story. It's really basic in its world, characters, and story. Maybe this was more special when it came out, as it has darker elements like sexual assault and horrible torture worse than death, but now it doesn't really strike me as interesting. I think the fault lies in the fact that it's so stripped-down. I don't feel like I know the world, why I should care, and why I would even continue when I feel I know how it will end up.
