I really enjoyed this, though I know it's been bashed. My theory for that is how religious the author has decided to make the text - folks are unable to separate the religion from the fantasy, and it affects their reading. But I enjoyed every page of this! It's definitely a debut novel, but it was a way for the author to grow, and I'm excited to see later books remove the slight beginner's follies that are generally unavoidable.
