Personal Opinion:
I really loved this book, Richard Yance did a wonderful job to keeping you turning pages. I had to know what mess was going to find Alfred next. I really enjoyed Alfred's character as well, such an innocent and purely good person, shouldn't have to become a sword fighter. I found Alfred drive to make things that he thought were his fault entertaining but sad. He always felt like things were his fault and living with that guilt would be terrible, but I do like how Alfred really comes into his own and knows that he can finish the mission.
