BLUF: A very good read. It kept me entertained throughout and looking forward to additional stories about The Brotherhood. The story is primarily written from the point of view of the main character Gehenna, with occasional forays to other characters in order to move/develop the story. Ultimately I am glad I purchased the story and I definitely recommend it.

The Good: The authors created a cast of characters that you could pull for throughout the story (though it is perhaps begrudgingly with the Wizard Draxton, who is a first class ass). Indeed, at the end of the book you are looking forward to what the group will tackle next. The overall story hooked me and I finished it over the course of three evenings (staying up perhaps a bit too late). I liked how the Authors developed the characters with both strengths and flaws, that they made mistakes/poor choices and had to deal with the consequences of them.

The Bad: There were a few times where the authors chose to "skip" a bit of time/action and the reader was brought in on what occurred through dialogue between the characters or through a characters thoughts. I found these a bit awkward and confusing each time it occurred in the story. Also it would have been nice if some of the supporting characters were fleshed out a bit more. I certainly hope they are in future stories.

Other Thoughts: I had been contemplating this book for a bit, but the lack of reviews/ratings had kept me away. I ended up pulling the trigger during the huge Troll Lord sale when it was deeply discounted figuring I wouldn't be out much if I didn't like it. I am glad I did as it was an entertaining read. I figured I would write a review so that others could see it is worth picking up.
