This book has the potential to go someplace good, but just doesn't quite get there. The ending, without a reveal, leaves me with many questions which I'm wanting answers to. I liked the flow though the character developement is just slightly lacking.I'm confused in that the younger brother begins the story adamantly in love with one girl, deplores drink and is a good son even if he is not the favored son. By the halfway mark, the boy- and the author, seems to have forgotten the first love with no explanation or heartache or anything and is pretty much never heard from again. He becomes a favorite companion to the local tavern with the oldest brother without a qualm-farm work and father forgotten at home without any consequences and it's just not fleshed out well.The ending involves intrigues and magics but without any explanations or plot it dies a quick death with the story's end.Left me wanting a bit more than it gave me.
