The first book in the "First Law" trilogy. Also the author's first novel. It is a fantasy novel and follows a good deal of the usual tropes and stereotypes. It is not horribly over the top, high fantasy. There are no dragons or elves or any of that. There is magic though and the main characters are all special in some way like they came out of a 14 year old's D&D game, so I wouldn't call it low fantasy either. It took me a while to get into it and the writing started off kind of weak, but it got better as the book went on so I'm going to pick up the other two and check them out.
