The second novel (The Warded Man aka The Painted Man is the first) in a well crafted fantasy world. The narrative is well paced with plenty of action and good characterizations. The plot is not "light" and includes many adult themes and does a good job of showing culture clashes (both between Thesans and Krasians as well as rural and city). The author has created a lively and interesting setting that is well worth reading if you enjoy the genre. Probably best to start with the first novel as most characters are introduced in that book.
