I previously read the short novella 'The Dragon Bone Flute' by this author and LOVED the story.  I could not wait to read more from Gallowglas, and started this trilogy (which I picked up when offered for free for the kindle).This series was much darker and not nearly as much to my liking as 'Flute'. I finished this first volume hoping that I would care enough about what would happen to continue the trilogy.  However, I think I'm moving on to something else.Numerous people, factions, beings, etc are introduced quickly and it's somewhat hard to keep track of - only to find that some (many?) do not survive.  The world seems well-built, but is at first difficult to follow. The characters may develop deeper later on, but I'm not vested enough to continue.I won't say it's bad, but just not my cup of tea at this time...
