The Briar King by Greg Keyes

4.0

I REALLY liked this book. I've heard a lot of comparison to GRR Martin's series but honestly, this one grabbed me faster. Epic fantasy with great characters - even the ones who die - who actually evolve during the course of THIS novel rather than wait until a second or third. Plenty of great action with promise of more to come. How can you NOT love a novel where they send the recalcitrant princess to become AN ASSASSIN. Brilliant.
