When I downloaded this book I was expecting the usual Young Adult fantasy story.  And in fact it started off that way.  But I realized that the relatively slow pace of time through the book meant that the author was planning quite a long epic story. And I love epic fantasy books. So I enjoyed that this first book just barely started the story.  We lived through the childhood years in which Jahrra behaves rather like a typical child with all the immature decision making that goes along with it. However we begin to see the bigger picture little by little through the stories she's told. And we see signs of the person she's going to grow up to be. So many books these days try to cram far too much into a single book. I really like the fact that it's going to take a few of them to tell the whole story.  It's true that there isn't a whole lot of action in this book but there was plenty for me.  I immediately bought book 2 and read it upon finishing this one.
