Brief book review.

Yesterday I read a fantasy novel - the start of a series - called The Warded Man. It was excellent, readable, and enjoyable, though as usual I was irritated by the cliche of having the one main female character as the Healer, when the main male character got to be the Badass Warrior. There's a secondary male character who is much less badass than the Healer, so that was sort of okay until ( a spoiler made me apoplectic. )

Has anybody read this book, and would you care to discuss it? I will NOT be getting over that plot point, but up until that stage it had a great many virtues and cool ideas worth talking about. I honestly don't know if I'll continue with the series when the next book comes out.
