This is a short story set during the small kingdoms of Germany in the 1770s -- with the slight twist of magic.  The story is fast-paced and moves along -- and sometimes feels a little sketchy because of that.  I believe the hero was written the way he was so he could learn the lesson he needed to and the same with the seer.  They're very much shaped by their pasts and how people perceive them in the present; and they're both trying to break those molds and find out who they really are.My only quibble is that the book abruptly ended in the middle of the last paragraph, but you have enought of the story to know what the ending is.
