I really enjoyed the subversion of the call-to-adventure of the Hero's Journey. Great cast of characters. While some things felt either dragged on or extremely coincidental, I loved how things came together at the end of the book.

It is a relatively violent fantasy book that does not stray away from the harsh details of a battle and death. However there is no sexual violence or even discussion of it. However, it is not Game of Thrones level gory and violent. I would rate it around a PG-13 for most people.
