This book was suprisingly good. Yes, there were some worldbuilding questions (

That one girl had signed a contract 11+ years ago, but she was still a child, so do contracts signed by minors count in this world? Also, Ramson keeps referring to drowning when he thinks of his friend’s death, but his friend died by arrows, so I’m not sure why the drowning bit is everywhere.

) Speaking of which, I’d just read another book where the main man was called Ransom, so when Ramson came along in this one, it took a while for me to realise this name was slightly different. 

But the reason I like this book so much is that there’s a very cool fight between good and evil going on in both protagonists. I was impressed by the fact that we finally got a protagonist who was morally gray but didn’t like it and was striving to be better. That’s the main reason for this high rating. 

“… it is our choices that define us. And I… I want to make the right choice.”
