Fantasy isn't usually my cup of tea, but this isn't your usual fantasy. The fast paced tone of the story reminds me more of a technothriller; which is a good thing.This has little to do with magic and goblins. It's very gritty and self-aware. I mean, how often do your fantasy heroes debate the rationality and ethics behind their actions!?Now, the characters sometimes seem to go on a little too long with their self-examinations. From time to time you'll want to reach in there and slap someone back to their senses... but isn't that emotional response a trademark of great writing?Personally, I would have liked to see a more clear cut ending. I know it's a series and all, but for every question that's solved, another one is created. Still, a pretty fun and thought provoking debut novel.
