Review: very nice novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

The writing was excellent and sufficient to take one away to a rather humble main character and vividly described world full of magic, politics, and memorable allies.  What differentiated the ebook from others is simply the pure honesty that the main character shows throughout.  It's a grown up novel.  On the other hand, the story seemed to have been purposively limit in scope and length to a single medium length book and a good number of ideas/plot devices from the overall fantasy genre were reused.  Worth reading - I'm rating it 4 stars because I liked it enough that I may someday read it again, but not so highly that I'll likely remember it anytime in the future.
