I read the reviews in my library catalog to see if perhaps the blank pages might be illustrations. The information about the book doesn't mention that is' illustrated, so that's not the explanation for the blank pages, but I did see in the Publishers' Weekly and the Library Journal reviews that the book is recommended for Adult Fantasy readers.
