3.0

The very enjoyable story, I like the protagonist very much his journey to become the weapons master. However, there does seem to be some typical Lackey errors and plot holes. I think the biggest one I found is that the war orphans -who comprise a group of at least 1500 to possibly two or 3000… Who the queen apparently has no problem finding homes for all of them. 
But we are constantly told that the capital city of Haven has starving orphans, and they pop up in every book... so it doesn't really make sense that these thousands of extra kids could be so easily accommodated.
But it was decent enough. It wasn't particularly deep or complex, but it did have some humor and adventure for a light fantasy read.
