I liked this quite a bit. It has the framing everyone seems to use lately, where we start at the end of the story the bulk of the narration is relating how we get to that point. Sometimes I find it annoying, but here it works very well. Possibly aided by the story not taking multiple books to get back to that point. The author does a good job of knowing what to skip. Plenty of things happen off-page, and years of the protagonist's life are briefly summed up to keep the narration from bogging down. I'll definitely read the next two books (it's a trilogy of course), and am interested to see how it's framed, since we caught back up the timeline in this first book.
