Five star review. No questions asked.

From the moment I picked this book up I couldn’t put it down. I love the world and the storyline. It took me back to the early eighties books I scavenged from libraries when the ‘fantasy’ section was a single shelf and all books were translated to Dutch. There stakes are high, the world is grim, the characters do the best with what they’re given.

The book isn’t perfect.
I felt it lacked the depth in relationships between characters that seems to be the forefront of many contemporary fantasy books. The dialogue sometimes feels odd, the style of speech not befitting the characters that are talking.
In the grand scheme of the story, these are minor inconveniences.

If you like a quick and dirty read, if you love characters attempting to catch up to their destiny, this book is for you.
