(reviewed 2 days after purchase)

A highly original and entertaining fantasy but one which is handicapped by poor English. The author has done very well in creating a completely original world which is coherent and believable, and the two different tribes or nations which inhabit it. The book has a complex plot which is extremely well managed, and the pace and tension are very good. The story is dramatic and gripping, and character development is also quite good. For me the big problem is the English: wrong and sometimes bizarre word choices appear far too often. Rightly or wrongly, I formed the impression that the text had been run through a spell checker and then published without any editing of the spell checker's choices. However, I think it worth the read for the original and dramatic story.Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book for an honest, objective and non-reciprocal review.
