Some authors have trouble writing anti-heros, but Douglas Hulick does a very good job with Drothe (although did anyone else have the Kvothe/Drothe confusion? I read The Wise Man's Fear just before Among Thieves: A Tale of the Kin). I'd heard a little about this book from reading the Wyrdsmith's blog (of which the author is a part) and I was intrigued, and then I read a few good reviews, so I was chuffed to receive an ARC from LibraryThing. The pacing is spot-on here, with hardly a wasted action.
