I liked it, better than what I expected and don't really have any major complaints. The prose is very accessible ( perhaps a bit too accessible for my taste ). The characters are alright, world-building is good and most of the story is wrapped up quite nicely, considering it's part of a duology and there's more to come. There's a lot of 'tell, don't show' which seemed rather glaring at times and distracted me but besides that, I can't really think of something that truly bothered me. The story itself is interesting and there's several moments, especially politicking in the background that made this one feel more than just a generic quest. However, I can't say I <i>really liked</i> this book. Don't get me wrong, I was never bored at any point and it was a fun read for the most part, but nothing really wowed or left a lasting impression on me. Everything was just.. fine. Will read the sequel anyway as I am intrigued enough to see what the future holds for

. I would recommend this book to anyone who just wants a fun adventure read as palette cleanser. 

P.S. That First Law reference outta nowhere made me chuckle.
