Let's just start with this--HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR BOOK TWO?!
Anyhow, excellent romantasy with a great cast of interesting, flawed, scarred characters gathered together to kill a god emperor. Of course, all does not run smooth, but that just gives the characters time to sprout feelings. Because I'm a dirty old woman, the sex scenes could have been a little less fade to black, but it's not really fair to log that as an actual criticism of the book. Seriously, I'm really looking forward to the next book.
