Retribution Falls

Well that was a lot of fun!

I really enjoyed the story and the way the characters were developed, with their back stories coming throughout the book. Frey is someone you love to hate, but I think he makes a good main character. I think it's interesting that most of the characters were ones that you don't really want to like e.g. Crake, Malvery, Frey... they've all got horrid stuff going on in their pasts. However throughout the story you end up rooting for them, you don't want them to die, you're mourning their losses, you're cheering with them.

I gave it 4 stars (probably more like 4.5) instead of 5 just because at times I felt it was a little bit clunky. I wasn't a huge fan of the gallows scene where Frey is about to get the chop, the Century Knights came bustling in, and Frey is able to outline the whole conspiracy, then off they go leading the navy and the navy attack it just seemed a little bit too simple!

I would definitely like to see what happens later in the series, as I hear the next ones are even better!
