I am very sad to find so many inconsistencies in this book. The introduction of other characters whilst entertaining felt somewhat boring, since they were never mentioned before. The Sacred Laws those knights seem to proclaim to devote themselves to are applied at random and inconsistently.
My biggest upset is the lack of character development. Instead of Lannon slowly finding his feet, he behaves like an insecure teenager with a minor crush on his overly nasty elven commander. The structure and the organisation of their little group seems to degenerate at every opportunity.
I have the other two books of the trilogy and I hope that they will get better.
