Helpful Score: 1

I enjoyed this book. The author has a good hand on interplay between characters. I can't say this is an incredible book, but it was good. I liked the world, I liked the characters, and the plot was good. I do wonder why the Eltians didn't show up later on as well. This is a rare book in that I'd really like a second volume! Or another book set in the same world, perhaps. Quite a bit of work went into crafting the culture that it seems sad to not have more stories in it. There are certainly more stories to be told. (And someone should encourage "heros" to be seen for deeds not in war. :))

One thing that wasn't clear was the timing between the fight and her dismissal from school. At the beginning I thought it was a couple days, but later it seemed to be a couple weeks at least. For her sword skill, it would seem it would need to be a couple months--but that's too long for the offended family to have waited to move. So I'm not sure.
