I enjoyed this a lot. I would classify it as more light fantasy (as opposed to the dark and convoluted worlds of George RR Martin or Steven Erikson). It started a little slow for me -- not quite sure that the prologue regarding the Animal Gods was necessary, but once I was into it, I really liked it. The characters are clearly drawn and distinctly good or bad. It is easy to know who to root for! The only major issue I had with the book is that it jumps around in time a lot. Personally, I sometimes find this a hindrance in keeping track of what is going on, but after a while those pieces also fell into line. One piece of advice -- don't read the list of characters at the end of the book -- it lists all the characters from all 3 books, not just the first one, and thus might create a bit of a spoiler. Overall, enjoyable and highly readable. Looking forward to moving on to Book 2.
