This isn't a novel of cheesy stereotypes and weak spirited characters. I read this book in middle school and loved rereading it as an adult. It's a great escape. Azure Bonds can be read as a stand alone story, but it is the first of a trilogy. Kate Novak does a great job setting up story lines that she picks up throughout the trilogy and ties together fluently. This is the kind of book I like to give myself time to read vs interrupting repeatedly. The whole Forgotten Realms series is worth checking out. Characters in this story show up in books by other authors in the Realms sagas and vice versa. I highly recommend this story for anyone that enjoys adventure and has a healthy sense of humor.
