It's the first installment of a trilogy, but the book stands on it's own two feet quite nicely. There's some overarching plots that are left for the future books, but all in all, this one has a nice sense of closure to it. It's not sprawling and full of flowery prose or excessive world-building (which pleases me immensely), it's relatively compact, terse and sincerely bad-ass.
I'm actually busy with it now. Only 160 pages in and liking it so far. Definitely not what I expected.
