This was a free kindle book, and I obviously liked it enough and the story was compelling enough to purchase the next 4 books in the series.It was good but I'm really tired of getting hold of books that leave off like cliff hangers. I want to read authors who are confident enough in their craft that their readers will pick up book two because they liked one so well...not because they have to read more just to finish an original plot.Grrrr
I agree with both the positive and negative reviews on this one.It was captivating, or I wouldn't have bothered finishing it.

It is a page-turner for sure, making it extremely difficult to put down.The characters are interesting, complex, and well thought-out. They definitely add to the reason why this is such a great book. There are some characters that I will never forget--Such as one of the heroes, Er'ril of
I liked this series, but seem to remember cringing at some prtty sexist plot-lines. (But apparently it wasn't enough to throw me off the series - which is something I am known for doing.) It was a pretty well-paced, original and interesting story.
