I mostly enjoyed the story. The characters grow, at least the main ones do. As another reviewer said, there is a lot about the training of the future Master Sorcerer. There were a few misused words and typos. The author loves the word "mumbled." Everyone mumbles; they never mutter, whisper, speak under their breath, moan, groan, or anything else.But my peeve was the stereotypical gender roles. The women cook and clean; the men fight. The women are always referred to as girls while the men are frequently referred to as guys, but never boys. It's a different world so how about thinking how women's roles and dress may have evolved differently on a different world? Not even every society on earth has such rigid roles and styles of old-fashioned long dresses for women. O guess it's easy to see what I pondered while reading.
