This was the 3rd Deathstalker book, and while I did enjoy it, parts of it were a bit weird. Not a single one of these books has been without typos, though. I’m always surprised when I run across them, I wonder if anybody does any proofreading!

The trip to Haceldama was a bit strange and the ending (of that part of the book) was somewhat anticlimactic, but overall I liked it. The plot has really advanced, and we see Owen Deathstalker finally confront the Empress. Several secrets were revealed about main characters, but there are still more to come to light in the next book (at least the epilogue says so). ( )
