Not only a great start to a new series but also could be read as stand-alone. There is a clear ending to this book that leaves you satisfied! The story isn't a new concept, but it is really well done and still has a few twists and unexpected events that keep you from guessing the outcome. It is really well written, with characters that you love and support. I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated really well. The narrator pulls off some great accents to give a lot of life to the characters.
it's a little formulaic, but not too. enjoyable. not as good as The First Law but fun.
Un mundo interesante, aunque pequeño y no demasiado fantasioso. Los personajes compensan su falta de profundidad (no es que sean planos, pero tampoco estan especialmente desarrollados) con mucha carisma, los malos son interesantes, en especial la pirata de apellido impronunciable que es mejor que el malo principal. Engancha muchisimo, la prosa es bestial, haciendo de cada frase un autentico gozo, y en general todo esta muy bien hilado y tanto el mundo como los personajes y situaciones son interesantes de investigar y descubrir.
Dayum!!!! The levels of treachery woven into this story will make your head spin and your heart ache. On one hand, I hate that it took me so long to read it. On the other, the trilogy is finished, so I can binge read it. Yay!!

I liked this book a lot, but because it's YA, expect Joe Abercrombie lite. The ending was good with a wicked twist. The characters are well drawn and the premise is fun. I liked the hero's journey and felt it would be a fun read for a high schooler.
