Not having read the first two books, this book was just okay for me. ( )

So I'm just skipping along, and then to my everlasting amusement there was a bloody gruesome action scene. Here's an example of how surpised I was when I clearly saw it coming...

I will warn you now don't read this if you don't want a few spoilers.
Even though this book takes place in the Forest Kingdom. It doesn't have any characters that are in the first books, but a younger generation associated or apprenticed to characters in previous books.Cool factor.
Yes, I miss the older characters, but I'm liking the new ones well enough.

Following the Rangers to a broken down Border Post. Strange goings-ons that emphasize the words: old, wrong, and cold. Not cool! To all authors out there!! Saying a sentence three times is effing enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The witch hmm... Kinda torn with her. On one aspect I was impressed, she was really determined. This though would lead to her fault in arrogance and overestimating her skill level. Big fish leaving the little pond to move to the ocean type of deal.

Then you had your badass couple. Who give you some of the comedy...

Then you also you have your boys who are clearly too big for their breeches...

Ein kleiner, feiner Roman, der zu den besten des Genres gehört. Sehr gemein, sehr vielschichtig, sehr böse. Absolute Leseempfehlung. ( )
