Review: Unexpected delight
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a 4.5 star book. I do not often write reviews, but it is time to get the word out about what looks to be a great addition to the sword-fighting fantasy genre. The story is original (to the extent any fantasy story can be these days - there are so, so many books), the primary characters well-developed, and the story generally maintains a good pace. The few flaws (I am a bit tired of protagonists having repeated self-doubt, but I understand its dramatic role) can be forgiven for this new entrant in the fantasy genre. I look forward to book 2 of the series.
