Great sci-fi fantasy adventure with a slight romantic element. The action moves well. The ending sets up for a sequel. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this book. To me it was a sci-fi story with a fantasy feel in which technology emulates magic in many ways. Good plot, and likeable characters make Armlet an enjoyable read.
