I really enjoyed this book. It was one of those that gripped me from the start and was awesome, but sadly bogged down a bit about 3/4 of the way through. The author used some flashbacks/forwards(?) that were not clear. I got it eventually, but when you are running full speed it sucks to stumble. That said - he recovered very well and the finish was very strong. 4.3 stars?
I'm really not sure why people where comparing this to Sanderson or Rothfuss. Did no one read Mark Lawrence's The Broken Empire? In any case, I started off thinking this was boy lit--all testosterone and swordly prowess, but it turned out to be a nuanced look at loyalty, religion, honor, love and magic.
Being a '1st' book, there were times when the prose could have been smoother or a change of subject came too abruptly, but I have no doubt that this trilogy (series?) will just get better.
