The good
.I absolutely loved the cover.(the drawn one)
.I liked that she put tarot cards that represents each chapter.
.The story was good until it started to reach ending which I am a little bit dissapointed

The bad
.The ending was a little dissapointing. SPOILER(I mean I thought the Shield will have a magical effects or something I was totally shocked when I read it was just a normal royal shield) SPOILER END
.I hoped she could tell more about the villains and the prince

Quick summary

One day Justice Hollis was arrested and will be hang if someone does not save him.
Weasel wanted to save him because he was the only person to ever be kind to Weasel.
To save him he and Arisa (a mysterious girl)have to find the Falcon a Commander of road bandit who tries to overthrow the people who put Justice Holis in jail.........end of summary

The conclusion
The story is not bad (excluding the ending)I bought because of it's beautiful cover. I know people say don't judge a book by it's cover but sometimes I books by looking at the cover.While the story is nothing new but with some quirky characters and a charming story it is a great read if you are looking for a not so magical book.
