Truly a gem amongst the KIndle-author crowd. The author has his "world" fully fleshed out. He designs characters that have 'bite' and then develops them with just enough depth to prevent this from being a 'narrative', but never so much that it slows the pace down. You quickly settle into the mind of the protagonist and you are off on an adventure. My only issue is that I want more after his trilogies end! Although in this one, his ending is very well done, and out of all of his various series, this one comes best as a "full circle". Simply outstanding!
