Review: Good first novel, characters drove me nuts with their mistakes.

There were a number of moments in reading this that I had to wonder about the intelligence of various characters and of the mindset of the villains of this entire piece.  Illogic abounds and the number of mistakes made by people were frightening.However, that didn't obscure a fun tale with characters I could like even while I shook my head at their antics and mistakes. Jamie did a good job balancing the need to drive his plot forward with the development of some of the characters.  There were a few times I felt he could have done a lot better in building a character, and one of the characters did not grow on me much, but overall it was a solid first novel and a solid tale.I already posted a review of the second book in this series, which wasn't quite as good, but definitely demonstrated the talent Jamie has.  He is an author to watch for in the future
