Ratings and reviews

All-in-all this was an entertaining book. It started a little slow but quickly got interesting. I think most of the character development was thorough and the few twists were rather intriguing. I just purchased the second book because I'm very curious how the background story arch links to the main one. BTW take the description of this book with a grain of salt, it doesn't really come close to mentioning the parts of this story you'll find the most enjoyable.
