Title: Great Characters
Review: This was a really good first novel, but it could use some improvement. Although the characters are strong and realistic, the plot is unworthy of them. These characters are passionate and thought-provoking, but the plot is just a wham-bam shoot 'em up. There are memorable parts where the author shows what she can really do, like the scenes in the slave markets. The end is dissapointing, the big bad guy is defeated and everyone's problems are solved. As if an empire can be toppled by killing just one person. Hopefully in the author's next book she will allow the characters to use their minds instead of luck and violence. Having said all that, I still give the book a 7, because the charaters do make it worth reading
