I was definitely entertained by this story, especially since it twists one of my most disliked tropes in the genre and puts it on its head. I thought it was very amusing and showed this writer's skill. I definitely think that this author deserves more exposure and if she keeps just as tight grip on the characters and the narrative in the next parts of the story, as she did in this one, it is going to be a great epic. So far the depth of the characterization was truly outstanding for me. Having said it, I will admit, that main character right now turns me off big time. This is in no way a criticism, I can certainly like a book while disliking character/s in it, it is purely my emotional reaction to it. It is again a first for me, because usually characters who had been through what the main character had been through get my sympathy right off the bat, but I suppose that this is also a testament to this writer's talent that I was feeling the exact opposite about him because of his cruelty.I highly recommend this book, however I am not sure if I will continue reading it.
