It's awesome. I couldn't put it down. More people need to read it so the potential sequels can be published. It's funny, it's fast paced, the characters are great, the central drama is compelling and I could see it making a great movie potentially. 
I bought more books by the author as soon as I was done reading this. The writing is witty in a laugh out loud kind of way that reminded me of Terry Pratchett. 
The desire for sequels does not mean this ends on a cliffhanger. It does not. Things get to a satisfying wrap up but there is more than enough room for the stories of the other two swords mentioned in the book. This still stands well on it's own though so don't do the thing where you don't support a series until it's fully done and then because not enough people supported it early on it never actually gets to be finished. 

In all seriousness it's really good, and worth giving a try.
