Maybe I'm only rating this so high since I'm not used to reading political fantasy but I just love the court intrigue. The plot has me hooked and interested all the way.

The banter of the main duo was very well executed and the setting was a nice change to what I usually read, I liked the msytery too but it wasn't too special either and quite generic in the end so that I wouldb't read the second book in the installation if you aren't a big fan of that.
