Length: 484 pages
Father Yarvi and his crew travel half the world in order to find allies for the impending war. Among his crew is Thorn Bathu, a warrior with a difference; she's a woman. Seeking vengeance on her fathers killer, she trains as hard as the best. And we also have Brand, a warrior who hates to kill. But will they return with allies? Will they return at all?
Half the World was a but slow to start, but definitely picked up and was hard to put down once it got going!
I like Thorn. She initially comes across as a total badass, but once you get to know her you realise she's actually quite shy and unsure in a lot of ways. She definitely has a sensitive side and it's good to see it once in a while.
Brand is a strange warrior, considering he doesn't actually like killing. He just wants to do good, and it's a conflict of morals when he has to kill. I like him and Thorn together.
I like the Empress of the South. I think she is kind and just and makes a good leader. Part of me wishes Thorn had accepted her offer to stay with her and be her guard. I hope to see more of her in the next book!
