I really like this series of books. As a sequel to Azure Bonds, this is rather brilliant. It brings back many of the characters from that book, but often in a different form than we saw them before, and it uses many of the ideas from that book, but goes off in a completely different direction. Its kind of what you'd like sequels to be....not carbon copies of the original work, but with ideas from that original work explored more fully. Its a much more grounded book, which is odd for a fantasy, and there's a lot of emotion, helped by a cast of well realized characters.
Have to admit that I didn't think much of it. The author tried to work in politics into a fantasy settings and it just did not work for me.
Very good story.
