I have to start out saying that I was not sure if I would like this book or not...of course, I can say that with most new authors- I am quite comfortable with my circle of writers and am never sure if I should leave my comfort zone and try a new one.  I am so glad I took a chance on this one.The opening paragraph just transported me to Jamus' realm.  There are descriptions, and then there are descriptions James Fuller style.  I have been reading Science Fiction and Fantasy for a good 35 years, and very rarely has an author captivated me from basically the first paragraph "The moon was full and hung proud in the peak of the heavens, offering its mystical glow to the dark world below.  The stars littered the obscurity above in random fashion-as if someone had poked countless holes through a sheet of black linen. It was a tranquil night by even the hardest of men's standards. But it was lost on one...." at that point, you could not have gotten me off my recliner to do anything, although I had to fix supper for the family, but I did it with my kindle in hand.What can I say about the characters?  Jamus- husband, father, seeker of justice for the atrocities committed against his family...amazingly well written, very deep emotions.  Mr. Fuller made Jamus leap off the page and appear before my very eyes, I could see the pacing, I could hear the raspy ruined voice.  His sense of justice is sooo right.  Sofia- beloved daughter.  Stolen away from home.  We can feel her bewilderment at what has happened, her anguish.  Lord Carter...What a despicable excuse for a man...the man oozes slime with his every look.  I have never been so happy to hate a character as I was him.Unforgivable was absolute excitement to read, and I loved every minute of it...I was on the edge of my seat at several points, sure that Jamus was about to meet his maker.  The story unfolded at just the right pace for me.  I  have to admit to being a tad taken aback at the ending, but that is what made it such an excellent book...that unexpected ending!  Well done Mr. Fuller, Bravo!
