Thief of Camorr

I initially had trouble with this book. There were too many made up words too fast, to the point where I didn't really know what was going on. It gets better though, and overall I enjoyed it in the end. I wish I could give it 3 and a half stars because it's almost a four... but because of how long it took me to read it, and how much I struggled with the beginning, it's just not worthy.Kira, the heroine, is quite good. She has her struggles and her strengths. I do like how her heroine part is believable - we can understand why such honour would be bestowed on her. I liked the characterisations of the other main characters - you could almost guess how they would react, which means they're written well - you got a real feel for their personality, goals and why we're supposed to hate/love them.One other problem with the novel is everyones names. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of who is who. Maxen, Merek, Miken? Too many M-five-letter-names... it was just a bit confusing for me. For a first novel though, it's quite stable.
