Review: Excellent book, thoroughly entertaining
Rating: 4 out of 5

I found this book gritty and grounded, which is a refreshing change from pretty elves holding hands and dancing around a magical fire at the base of a magical tree in a magical forest.I can definitely see the influence that David Gemmell played in this author's development, and that's what I like about the story, I can see a similar style to Gemmell's. I would have given 5 stars, however the book requires a thorough edit, which seemed to have been done up until almost the half way mark and then the grammatical errors started, so I'm not sure what happened there. However, for me anyway, the errors did not detract from the story. One other thing I found was that the characters tend to do a lot of 'snorting' (particularly the main character).However, the characters are well developed and I cared for most of them, cardboard cutouts they are certainly not.I highly recommend this gritty, thoroughly entertaining book, highly recommended!
