This has all the ingredients of a book I could see myself obsessing over. A great group of friends, on a mission, mixed in with some humor and a lot of drama. Unfortunately what I missed was a bit more depth to it.
There's a lot of events in which things go unexplained because I feel like they just can't. (How did the Tailor know where they were going to be?) and a lot of what are normally pretty traumatic events are very much glossed over afterwards (There's a few days of torture which they talk about afterwards as just a thing that happened) and then other things I would have liked to see but we didn't because Falcio wasn't there to see it (Kest defeating the Saint).
If any of the above things were handled with a bit more care, I would be all over this book and this series.
However, I do like the three main characters and their dynamic (even if I want to see it fleshed out a bit more) but that might be something that any of the sequels fix. I am going to check out Knight's Shadow in the near future.
