not all that...

Lackey's writing has changed over the last several years, not for the better. Her older stuff is much better

Interesting world

An interesting world and interesting characters. Misty Lackey is always a good bet for a good story.

the story

the narrator's character flexibility and the ability to use different voices to great effect. very good

Great book

Loved it! Good narration, I like her. Ready and waiting for the next installment
