Review: Easy to follow even though I didn't read the first book!

I feel like I haven't read a fantasy novel in ages! And while I signed up for this blog tour fairly last minute, I don't regret it at all! Sworn To Transfer was a really good book that I finished in a day!Sworn To Transfer follows Ciardis, the unofficial Companion of the Prince Heir, Sebastian. Unfortunately, ever since she saved his life and help him kill his aunt, the Princess Heir, he's been a bit cold to her. Or at least, that's how she thinks. But with a dragon coming, and her finding out more about her family (and trying to learn how to control her powers), she's got a lot to handle.Before I start, I must say that the author made this book really readable, even for those who haven't read the first book. I'm quite curious about the details, but I think I have a rough idea about what the first book is about (the characters talk about it and pass on information that way).What I liked was Ciardis. She's a very interesting character. Most of the book is from her point of view, but sometimes, the book switches. And what a difference. To Ciardis, whatever she does makes sense to her, but to others, she's a naive, immature girl. I couldn't help but wonder, which is correct? It's something that kept me interested in this book.Plot-wise, it moves very fast. A new organisation is introduced (the Shadow council), and once it's introduced, the different members and how they're meddling in the court starts to appear and take an active role. And from there, the plot just keeps rolling on.All in all, this is a good fantasy book. It's exciting, it has interesting characters, and it's an easy read. You should definitely read this book.Disclaimer: I got a free copy of this book as part of Enchanted Book Promotions Blog Tours in exchange for a free and honest review.This review was first posted to Inside the mind of a Bibliophile (http://allsortsofbooks.blogspot.jp/2013/10/sworn-transfer-by-terah-edun.html)
