This book was fun. I started reading this book and was immediately captured by the characters and the excitement. I wanted to keep reading it but school and life got in the way. I was finally able to finish it over a holiday break and loved it. As soon as I ended, I immediately picked up Book 2, Sand Runner.

3.5 The author does a good job keeping you reading with cliff hangers at the end of chapters, though switching off between main characters in each chapter is evil when you want to find out what's going on. There definitely are tense moments and a character that made me so mad (definitely intentional on the author's part).
I'd also like to add that despite the back cover mentioning "a woman's struggle to love" there is definitely no love story. It would be better to say a struggle to accept others into her life.

If I'm not mistaken I believe this is the author's debut novel. As such, I was very pleased with how well written it was. I think Mr. Elliott is off to a great start and I'll definitely be picking up the second book when it hits the shelves. The pacing of The Broken Horn was good, the characters are unique and believable, and I'm invested in seeing what happens to them. I'm eager to learn more about the world of Nan'kadur, its gods, and the various races that inhabit it. :)

Gripping, fast-paced, and full of heart!
I loved this story. The characters were unique and compelling, and they pulled me into the story. The plot was fast-paced and packed with adventure, but with emotional depth. I loved the little details that made the world come alive. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
