What a wonderful read, definitely the best book I've read in a long time (don't ask me how long tho ;) ). These are just my first impressions, I will elaborate more later (if I do not forget).
The best point of comparison would probably be [b:Byzantium|405589|Byzantium|Stephen R. Lawhead|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348701821s/405589.jpg|2694949], only as compared to Hawk Quest, characters in Byzantium were a bit grotesque and stereotypical.
Another point of comparison could be Doherty's [b:Strategos - Born in the Borderlands|13432181|Strategos - Born in the Borderlands (Strategos, #1)|Gordon Doherty|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1347920901s/13432181.jpg|18432096], because the main characters have similar feel.
The northern part of the adventure also reminded me of [b:A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones / A Clash of Kings / A Storm of Swords / A Feast for Crows|9814682|A Song of Ice and Fire A Game of Thrones / A Clash of Kings / A Storm of Swords / A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1-4)|George R.R. Martin|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1328046798s/9814682.jpg|21619517], especially parts about Jon Snow and Yggritte.
One a bit worse aspect is that the knights from the travelling group somehow blend together, they do not have distinct personality. This sometimes happens even in real life, but in these cases people usually focus on something in the appearance of such not-so-distinct people. Author of this book did not provide enough of such details so I could develop a relationship with these characters.
[(maybe) to be continued]
