3 1/2 stars - I do want to read the next one badly enough that I considered giving this 4 stars even though I usually rate 3 1/2 star books as 3 on here since that's just supposed to be "liked it."
Resenting the Hero is a delightful book with main characters easy to root for and empathize with, a fun plot and a world history that leads to some very intriguing social dynamics.
