Awesome!

Most fantasy is in a medieval, European setting, among black forests and mountains, etc. This story is in a desert setting with Napoleonic tones, which was refreshing and different. The plot was intricate enough to keep you guessing but not so convoluted as to be baffling. The dialogue was entertaining, the action plentiful, but I found myself reading just to finish the book. It was not book that I just couldn't put down.

Not your typical swords and sorcery book, though there was plenty of both. Lots of action, good character development, I couldn't put it down.

A well-written book with an intriguing plot and engaging characters. A perfect summer beach book.
