The only complaint I have is that I wish he had done a little bit more distinctive voices for the characters, especially the male characters. He has this deep rasp that just seems to go with the musket military setting. Don't expect to find a lot of powerful "battle" magic here. The "fantasy" element, other than the imaginary setting, doesn't make itself really known until two-thirds of the way through the book and even then the magic system is much more subtle and mystical than I was expecting. In my opinion, the most interesting character isn't even a point of view character. The characters are very well thought out, and the POV character do not overshadow other main characters at all. Rather than your typical fantasy setting, this one takes place in what could easily have been a campaign during the Napoleonic Era in a far away desert locale. I really loved Django Wexler's freshman outing in "The Thousand Names".
