I really enjoyed reading this book, I thought the political maneuverings were well done and the strategies of battle well thought out.Drakich did a good job of making me care about the characters, particularly Tarlok, his brother, and Grott. I liked the wide use of magic in the book as well. I found the lack of orphaned farmer boy (or something close to it) and evil god-like "dark lord" quite refreshing.I do wish the story had a moved a little slower though and developed Tessia and other events more and that the conversation in some areas had flowed a little smoother.That said, I did enjoy the story and will likely go back to it again in the future since I know I will want to read the story of these characters again. It's also a book a would recommend to other fantasy readers.
