Oh, did Blackthorn ever annoy me in this one, while Grim was able to step up even more. They remain a partnership, but sometimes Blackthorn seemed to forget that.
Traveling as far as they could without breaking Blackthorn's agreement, they went to help with the curse and/or being associated with the Tower of Thorns. But there is manipulation and secrets afoot from multiple directions. I am never a fan of manipulation and secrets. And selfishness too. But alas, there it is.
But Blackthorn is still clever and wise. That is the nature of being a wise woman after all. And Grim remains solid, except when he isn't. And during those times he is still faithful and true. Qualities I really admire.
But while Prince Oran (the third perspective in Dreamer's Pool), was generally a good guy, Lady Geiléis (the third perspective in Tower of Thorns) failed to gain my respect (or sympathy) from start to finish.
