Thank you very much to my Secret Santa - Neha

I really enjoyed this one. Good start to the series
I loved the set up for this one with Lance the killing machine, starting to care about people after a baby laughed at him. After the life he had been subjected to since being found by the Warlord he amazingly had a real childlike quality in his fascination with everyday things that he had never been subjected to. He was still a highly trained killing machine that no matter what was happening and could turn it on if required but he now took great joy in the little things.
I liked Gust too but not to the same extent. I liked that he stuck with Lance when it would have been really easy to just walk away. I did pick where it was going when it mention that his parents were killed at another town.
There was a lot of work done by the author setting up the mythological aspect of this story with the gods and goddesses, I found the explanations of who was who bogged down the story at times, and to be honest I got a bit lost as to who was who.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing where the author takes this one as I really want to know more about Lances childhood before meeting the warlord.
