This book is better than the rating I'm giving it. I've been in a reading slump for a bit and, with how entertaining this book is, it just didn't capture my attention. My rating is based off personal enjoyment and now the actual quality of the novel. I don't really remember all that happened, though I had fun with certain parts, and can admit the author's writing style is very nice. This is worth the read for those looking for a detailed fantasy with characters of color. I may return to this again to take in all the details. I would like to read the second installment at some point, too.
