I loved this.  I liked the characters, I liked the plot and the writing is tight.  I promptly told my husband to buy it as soon as he got his birthday kindle last week, so that's high praise indeed on my end! :)This is just good, clean, epic fantasy of the assassin sort.  I wouldn't say it gets really "deep" -- not in this book anyway -- in a philosophical sense, as epic fantasy tends to do, but that doesn't really detract from the book at all.A word of warning:  this book ends on a total cliffhanger so pretty much requires you read the second one as well (if you liked this one).  The story line ends pretty much entirely unresolved.That said, I had no problem promptly picking up the second -- and all the following -- books in this series.  And given how moderately priced they are, I had (and have) no problem recommending them to people who like this genre.
