A good solid fantasy novel that has three twists - two I didn't see coming! Looking forward to the next in the series.

This was fun. Seemed a little lighter than the First Law trilogy, and it wrapped up neatly in one book. Might continue the series, might not.

A very good YA-but-fine-for-adults fantasy.

The five stars are because it completely passes the "tell me a story I won't want to put down" test.

It's not memorably ground-breaking, not should it be for a YA audience. It need only be a good story with some twists and turns and interesting characters, and it does that very well.

I didn't see any typos, and Abercrombie style never got in the way. The plot rips along at a good pace, and the adult reader can go fairly quickly.

Gotta go, I'm off to look for #2 so I can see what happens next.
