Wow! I loved this book! I can't wait to get to the next book in the series so I'll be short in my review:From the beginning we meet our red hooded pedlar, Scarlet of Lysia. He's an honorable Hilurin (the ruling nation of the world, but on the verge of being extinct). He is on his way to his family i...

Just finished re-reading and loved it as much as the first time, maybe even more so, because the second time brings out the details that I didn't think significant before. Moving onto book 2.

I especially admired the movement between city, rural village and the gypsy like encampment. Scarlet and Liall are terr...

Incredible. I could NOT put this down, it's a short first book in the series, but damn is it good. I found the beginning painful to read and found myself skipping several pages of dialogue and world building that I found very boring. But that didn't last long before it ZOOMED ahead. Grabbing my atte...

Interesting in a weird-ish way. The characters are all really appealing, for whatever reason. In a sort of...fairytale-ish way, I suppose.

The Pedlar and the Brigand King is a tale that succeeds in entertaining the reader with otherworldly adventures where deep characterization has no part to play, certainly, but which offers interesting characters who fulfil their function to mirror human weaknesses.The author builds an extremely rich...
