I read this book last night. It was a test about whether I wanted to get into the cycle of royal assassin. It was for me to see if the style of the author attracted me in addition to its ability to build an effective and compelling plot. Well I was satisfied on both counts! There is no doubt about the beautiful handwriting of the author very vivid and rich with a diverse and varied vocabulary. The story is really well built and we like to follow the progress of an ordinary character immersed in the need to survive in a world that appears to him hostile and start pushing. I read somewhere that the title ruining the story fall because he revealed the end; this reader would do well to read his story a second time!
