I read amazon's $0.99-or-less fantasy novels all the time (checkout my other reviews).This book and its sequel are both excellent.Writing is smooth and settings and plot are quite likable.  Overall they're well polished books for this category.While I wouldn't call these books 'ground breaking' in the genre, they're *very* solid, with the plot and characters becoming more engrossing as the story moves along.This series is also quite good on a 'bang-for-buck' basis, as the books are of good length while containing no slow parts of inconsequential filler.My opinion of this book is solidly in the 5-star category due to the depth of its characters.
