Review: Complex enough to keep interest: 3.5
Rating: 3 out of 5

Kindle freebie and released with professional editing (still some mistakes, but nothing glaring). This is a lengthy book - a bit too long for the YA standard, but had enough language and blood to offset the whole "hero coming of age" arc.  Some of the detail regarding the 'world' this is set in was, at times, off, in my opinion; likely either too complex to put into words or simply not fleshed out very well.  However, the book picks up steam in the second half as characters get a bit more of the spotlight.  I'd say 3.5 stars and I did pick up the second book in the series.
