3,5 stars. I went up and down while I was reading it, but I gotta round it down.

The story of this is your average revenge story (that reminded me a bit of Arya Stark's) which I wasn't really invested in as the one guy he focuses on the most was very obviously the one least deserving of it. I liked basically anyone else better than our main character (Tau) and found him too selfish to care for. I liked it when other characters called him out on it though.

There are some really interesting parts in this. The cruelty at the start that shows you how evil the Nobles could actually be was great. I also liked Tau's unique way of training.

I just didn't love the world too much, and there was a bit too much fighting involving characters I couldn't remember or cared about. The only ones I found interesting were Uduak and Kellan.

While I was getting nearer to the end, I was debating whether I would check out the sequel, as apparently that has multiple POV's other than Tau's, which could maybe work in its favor. But the way the story ended, I'm not sure I'll be interested enough in the main story for it to be worth it.
