The book starts out a bit slow and pedestrian with your usual fare for fantasy. Stick through the first few chapters though because boy does it make up for the beginning very quickly.
Overall this was a fantastic, quick read that fits very well with the grittier atmosphere that Paizo foments for the Golarion setting. I cared about these characters, even the horses, and felt deep emotions as I was reading. I don't want to say more for fear of spoiling the fun for anyone else but the bottom line is that this is a must read for any fantasy fan.
