This is a difficult book to rate. It's a fantasy short story and it does stand alone; it's interesting and a good short read. But at the same time, there's not a lot of world-building. Info is provided only as the reader needs it and sometimes after the fact. Personally, I'd have loved more description of the world, its scenery and healing arts, to go along with the action, although the plotline seems sound and the characters for the most part are likeable. (The tracker was a bit tiresome, but that's personal opinion.) Let's call it three stars.
