A refreshing read
I found much to my surprise this story sucked me in form the first chapter. I found the story concept refreshing and well thought out but not overly complicated so it made for nice relaxing read. The characters were well developed and personable allowing me to connect with them. All and all this book was a unique reading experience I'm always exited when a normally undeveloped creature such as the orc is given voice and a more complex role in this genre we call fantasy.

Surprised, in a good way
I was very apprehensive when I picked this book up because it looked like a children's story. It is actually very good! It tells the story of Dar, a woman (who acts like a woman, not a girl), and how she is taken from her family to serve in the military as a cook. She redefines the social norm for the military as she refuses to go along with tradition- sleeping with a man in exchange for clothes and such. It portrays Orcs in a very different light. If anything, read it just for the Orcs because that alone will start you thinking about our own society,

This book is more about Dar trying to win over the orcs, not really anything to do with magical powers or anything. The orcs are a society that revere women, so she attempts to befriend them through her gender. Most of the book is set with Dar in the slave camps or doing other chores and hanging out with the orcs. Nothing really special happens, but it is a great set up for the next book.
