This book is definitely an "adult" novel. It is very well written and makes you gasp in disbelief multiple times. It has a great plot line and action that never falters. This is a man you root for, with every death you want to give him a high five and tell him good job. You can see the struggle between his conscience and his rage and it gives him a humanity that you did not expect. Set in an era long ago, you can feel the presence of the time around you. James did a wonderful job illustrating the setting through his words and the cover designer did a spectacular job capturing the face of Jamus. This book is a very gritty story, and something to not be overlooked. People with light stomachs might not like it but if you like a story full of blood, fighting, and lots of awesome killings I definitely suggest it! Aside from not realizing how graphic it was I really enjoyed it. I already started the second one and I cannot wait to finish it!
