I am such a Trudi Canavan fan girl but this book just missed the mark for me. It felt rather anti-climactic and as though there should have been more at the end. For makers curse just to be a mistranslation seemed like an easy out of a plot point that was written and then just didn't work for where the book needed to go. Felt like a bit of a 'meh' moment when I finished it and this is definitely not what I'm used to when finishing anything Canavan has written.
