It’s SO close to a 5… I just can’t give a book with only one strong female character 5 stars.

The only downside to this book I would say is you must read The Blade Itself. After laying intensive background in the first book, the Author finally has the chance to accelerate the plot and did a tremendous job in creating the most unique characters I have read among many fantasy books. The characters are so vivid, and their dark sense of humor made me chuckle like an idiot on the bus constantly.
