  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

A library book chosen for me by my husband on a whim. Surprisingly he got it right, although I was a bit dubious when the first word was unrepeatable in polite company! 
Bad language aside, which is in context to be fair, this is a roller coaster of a fantasy novel with a real twist at the end. But it isn't the end, there's another book, not yet published.
It starts as a journey on an errand for the king of a war torn land. But lots of things happen to delay and divert the team. Horrible things that need sorting out, of course.
Looking forward to the conclusion when the next book is published.
