I'm not much a big fantasy reader, but do like an occasional solid read, one that is not part 1of 6 (or 7 or 8....)
This book appealed to me from the get-go, an easy to read style, interesting if somewhat cliche characters (innocent waif teamed up with gruff and deadly mercenary, for example). Three is just enough newness to the setting to keep me on my toes.
Love the name, Ebon Death, be it myth, boogeyman, scourge, whatever, and in fact liked all of the names of characters, be they demons, Demi-gods, imperials or Khaevs, and all the flavors in between - a sampling of three pairs of characters often found together: Kit and Kei (Khaev draekeres) Isobel and Zhin (partners? Kind of) and of course the afore mentioned Veil and Corvus (waif and mercenary).
A fun read and by all accounts not the authors best (according to other reviewers) so there is much to look forward to.

I liked the book but the edition I read had typos every single chapter. The first half of the book I was confused what was going on. The stories would change without any indication that is was a different perspective. Very confusing.
