C.R. Daems novels are fast paced, character driven books,and Scales of Justice is one of his best. The story follows a street orphan, Jola, as she goes from street rat, to student, to Judicator. Judicators are individuals who share a bond that allows them to sense lies, which ends up making them a sort of traveling judge. As I said earlier, this is a fast paced book with Jola moving from judgement, to fights, to intrigue, and finally to war, with little time wasted on extraneous descriptions or world building. C.R. Daems gives enough background to let you get a sense of the kingdom in which this is happening, without bogging down the story in pointless detail. If you read and enjoyed Shadow Ryana, you will like this book as well.
