Review: I would rate this at a "young adult" level.

I would have given this 5 stars if there weren't editing problems.This book is refreshing, in that it isn't your typical Sword and Sorcery read.  There are castles and kings, but no knights, lords and ladies, etc.The setting has more of a frontier feel, and the plotting reads more like "Who did what, to who, and why?".  It keeps you guessing throughout the book.  It also deals indirectly with issues such as "How much of our freedom are we willing to give up in order to feel secure, and what are the consequences?".The book has a truly unique storyline, with well developed characters, and even though I would rate it as a Young Adult read, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to adults also.
