It is ever so rare to find books you can truly sit down and devour in there entirety. Sometimes the beginning is too slow, or the characters or too dull, maybe the plot never really picks up. I have passed on so many books because the first page is just, well, uninteresting. Trust me, I didn't think anything less of this book when I opened it.All I can say is "wow". This book blew me out of the water and onto the shore.  From the vivid, compelling prose to the masterfully constructed plot, this story delivers! The author truly outdid himself, creating a world with details that felt organic and tangible, nothing overused and recycled---it was all so refreshing. The battle sequence between Carison and the dragon deserves an award alone for how it was written.The characters are the type of characters that seem more human then makeshift musings of the imagination. Carison with his refreshing, wondrous charm and wit and Raven (my favorite), strong, independent and gorgeous! I loved how much attention the author paid to these characters. His dedication and time to this book truly made for an unforgettable story. Leaving me with nothing but a jaw-dropping ending and a one-armed hero, I am dying to find out where this story takes me next.
