A good yarn and something a bit different - not a "dwarf bashing" book as my wife would say. Waiting for the 3rd in the series!

A fascinating take on the fantasy genre, complete with likable characters and strong questions of morality. A great page-turner with absolutely amazing writing.

One of the many new strong contenders in the really-long-story-arcs fantasy genre. Great characters. Tight plot lines.

A page-turner with a strong new voice. A clever heist, a sharp revenge, and a beautiful religious experience. The story starts strong and ends with a whoppingly good conclusion.
Cons: Modern profanity abounds, and can put some people off. The plot won't interest anyone who dislikes crime fiction. The sequel is relatively weak.
