I enjoyed this, it was a romp with some engaging characters, although the characters motivations and feelings for each other and the world around them flipped on a whim according to the needs of the plot.
Also I was baffled by the world building, it was definitely a fantasy setting, with magic objects and talents central to the plot, yet characters mention Carthage, the Ceasars, Christianity and one quotes 'Invictus' to himself so... post apocalyptic earth?
I don't think I'll bother with the rest of the series.
