Ty Johnston has created a character in Kron Darkbow that reminds me a little bit of The Punisher.  His family was killed and he is going to get revenge no matter what it takes.  When he finds the wizard responsible for the actual killings he finds out that the order came from another.  He switches his target immediately not caring that he is now taking on arguably the most powerful man in the city.As other reviewers have stated this book really does not leave you guessing at what is going to happen, but it does its job very well.  The scenery is described with enough detail that you know what the environment looks like, but it does not bog the story down.  Action is the number one thing in this book and there is plenty of it: chases, narrow escapes, assassins, sword fights, magic, torture, etc...The second book promises a much bigger bad guy to take down and a few new friends to help out.  I will be picking it up in the near future for sure.
