This book starts off really rough, but it does get way better. Just bare with it through the first 3 chapters.
This is a revenge story, and don't expect it to be anything but that. Personally, I was a little disappointed that other elements of the world weren't explored more. This book hints at a lot of interesting possible stories and then just sticks with Tau and his single track.
Tau is my other issue with this story. I think he's well written, and he's not intrinsically unlikable, but all of the characters around him are just so much more interesting than he is. I want to here Zuri's training or Kellen's struggles. Tau's just okay.
