The technical aspects of this book such as the editing is pretty good. There are only a couple errors from what I remember. The story is pretty interesting as well with a nice tie in to popular history. That being said I did have several issues. The main one though is the characters. First off is Aerick, he is moody at best. Constantly snapping at people and overreacting. Some of it is given a good reason but at times it feels overboard. He was not a character I liked all that much.The side characters are not particularly strong. Several are interesting but not much is gone into them very much. Then there are the women. This is the second book in a while that I've said this about, they are ALL sluts. One/two act somewhat normal but holy crap the outfits. For one thing the author seems to describe the outfit a women character is wearing whenever they interact with the main character. The problem I had was every single one dressed, well they really didn't. Many times they are described as just wearing their bras. They also act the way they dress. Its kind of boring with the characters lacking individuality. And no guys don't get your hopes up for any hot scenes.The magic system in this book is not well explained. Some of it is in the way Aerick's magic is but a lot of the more common stuff mentioned throughout the book is not gone into. The book is by no means bad but I flipped several times between liking it and not caring. In the end I think it was ok and worth a shot at only a dollar.
