Loved the book. The plot moved along nicely though there wasn't alot of in your face action, just a steady pace of good story telling. I never wanted the chapters to hurry up and end so I could get to the next one and I looked forward to picking the book back up when I had to put it down.The 3 main characters are Thanquil, an Arbiter or Witch hunter type character who seems to despise his peers and the Inquisition in general and definitely comes across as an outcast to his order, Black Thorn, an all around scoundrel but still strangely likeable and Jezzet, a swordswoman who still seems to have a strange naivete or innocence about her despite her background and upbringing.All 3 characters are well drawn as are the secondary characters and the book portrays them as very human with all the weaknesses & strengths that come along with humanity. Another reviewer suggested that if a reader likes Abercrombie than they would like this author as well and I agree. I definitely see similarities in the writing style and would recommend both authors to others. I completed this book and immediately bought book 2 and am looking forward to still having one more book on deck as the trilogy is complete. I hope we see more from this author and I look forward to any future books by him.
