This was a pretty good follow up to Sword-Dancer and I enjoyed it all, except the very ending. I thought it was rather confusing (although this may have been deliberate). However, it did make me want to start on the next book immediately so I guess that might have been the hook. Enjoyable series thus far.
I got through this, the 2nd of 5 books, but I'm stopping there. I've liked the author's other work, I've read many of her short stories, but I just haven't gotten into this series as much as I expected to and it's not holding my interest through such long books.
This is the sequel to Sword-Dancer.
I found this to be the most compelling book of the Sword series. It seemed to take a decidely more somber tone than the first, or successive novels.

Sometimes Tiger was a big, stubborn dumb-dumb, but I still love him.
Der zweite Teil kann noch mithalten. Die weiteren Folgen fallen etwas ab.
