A review by kanissa
Lamentation by Ken Scholes

5.0

When I first began this book, I felt very "meh" about it. Nothing seemed exceptional about it, and in fact much of the setting felt derivative. But by page 15, I was hooked. The protagonists are vibrant, although the rest of the characters seem a bit less-developed. However, I love fantasy novels with intrigue and diplomatic scheming, and this one certainly fits that bill. There is much that is hinted at throughout but does not come to fruition for a while.... but once it does, it's wholly satisfying.

It seems like there is a good premise outlined for the rest of the series, especially with the Tam family. I look forward to it.
