5.0

This book is so incredibly well written, that I struggled to read it, as the hurts and sorrows that come the main characters ways felt at times nearly unbearable and I stopped reading this book and setting it aside for a while more than once.
With the chosen narrative perspective of looking back at things that happened a while ago, a distance is introduced that allows the author to distill the story to perfection.

And what a story it is, of meting out justice and finding forces opposing the King's justice who have their  own agenda and have become a force within the realm that have to be reckoned with.

And now to book two.
