Also, I love, love that the main character is a buff orc woman who wields swords and sabers and loves other women, and she gets to exist without compromise - she learns skills other than fighting or being on the battlefield, but her character development never forces her into a box of only traditional femininity. It's incredibly refreshing and just good character writing.
If you liked Travis' first book, or you want to get into the fantasy genre but you're overwhelmed by lengthy epics, this is a great read.
Moderate: Violence, Blood, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Sexual content
Viv gets a pretty terrible leg injury at the beginning of the book. The description of her injury and subsequent recovery is detailed but never graphic. A character is found dead with blood pooling around their body. There's some suggestion of spicy or erotic books, and a brief passage from one of them, but never any graphic sexual content. A few kisses are exchanged._david_'s review
