I know I'm not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but initially I passed on reading this novel simply because the cover didn't really draw me in (I understand the cover to all three books in the trilogy may be revised).However, I am glad I gave the book a go because I did really enjoy it (despite book one being devoid of action). Without giving anything away, I would say what I really enjoyed the most about this book was just the level of detail the author incorporated into almost every aspect of Aran's journey.  From traveling from here to there, arriving in Glaive or in training at the Keep, the author is very descriptive. Although I am not always a fan of this approach, as it can often be superfluous and take away from the story, it worked here.I really enjoyed the story and look forward to book two.JeffIndieproofreader@gmail.com
