Wasn't sure what to think at first. I'm not a huge fantasy fan, but I wanted to give this series a try based on recommendations. Enjoyed the book, enjoyed the plot. Was very excited to get into the second book once this one ended. The ending of this book finally showcases the badassery of the main character, and I would have liked to see that a tad earlier in the book. But the timing served it's purpose and I immediately bought the second in the series.
