I enjoyed reading this but won't order volume 2. Theres never much development or excitement about the protagonist. There's no drama about him mastering the world, gaining new powers nor accomplishing impressive deeds, despite being originally a poor, bustard child from the sticks. The fantasy too is fairly mundane and theres very little fighting excitement, despite most of the story centering on a troop of soldiers. I say 3 stars.
