I found this books to be quite enjoyable. The main character was drawn quite well and seemed to be a real person, rather than some two-dimensional character. I liked the fact that unlike most fantasy heroines, she isn't a young miss. She is the mother of two teenaged sons and a devoted wife of some years. She had a history and a background upon which to draw from.In this book, her husband has gone missing. Rather than accept the inevitable, she gathers up her courage to go look for him. At no time does her personality undergo a radical change where she is suddenly in possession of unique fighting skills or magical power. Instead, she muddles through as best she can, much as anyone else would. I think that it is this touch of "realism" that helps to make the book. The events are low key and very believable - for a fantasy book.
