This was exactly the kind of book I'd hoped it would be. Fun, exciting, violent – a large roster (but not too large) of interesting characters get involved in intersecting story-lines and it's set in a medieval world with all sorts of people and places plus some powerful sorcery. This is sword-and-sorcery at its best. And the best news is that this is a story in three parts so there's lots more to come. I'll be starting the second volume within days. Wicked fun.
