Narration was fantastic. The story left many opportunities for the author to fill in more detail. The author left much up to the readers imagination to fill in. Transition from one place to another was usually done with little detail making it difficult to grasp the change.
Also annoying how the main character throughout the story would give up precious negotiations. Example: the sword from the bandit, and the extra money from negotiating the snake skin and wine. It makes the main character seem like an idiot.
