This is the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.
It's an engrossing, sweet and entertaining novel that made me smile and root for the characters.
It's well plotted, the setting is lovely and the characters are well thought.

A really interesting and well researched book that helped to learn a lot about life at the edge of the Roman Empire.
I strongly recommend it.

Even if I think it's well written some more humour and action would have helped.
Unfortunately the story didn't keep my attention.
Not my cup of tea.

What a great story!
Even if I didn't read the other instalments in this series it wasn't hard to understand the plot and the world building.
Mr Zahn is a master storyteller and this excellent story, so well plotted, was a gripping and entertaining read.
Great world building, characters and plot: strongly recommended.

I'm in two minds about this book: on one side I loved the style of writing and the storytelling, on the other side I wasn't interested in the story that fell flat.

I liked it but I thought it was lighter.
It's well written and plotted but also quite heart wrenching at times.
I liked the characters and found the plot engrossing and entertaining.

Even I didn't read the other books in this series I think this can be read as a standalone as I had no big issues with the plot or the characters.
I liked this book because the plot is engrossing and entertaining, the characters are well thought, the world building is interesting.
I think I will read the other book in this series.
