Well
written, tightly plotted and filled with action and excitement. The characters are strongly delineated and
each player has his own ‘voice’. The action has a gritty honesty; whether that
action is physical, emotional or political.
Honestly?
It kept me turning the pages but I probably won’t reread it. I’m not a big fan
of political intrigues and I found the shift [especially in Adrastes] from warrior
to politician appropriate but not enjoyable.
But that’s me. The bestseller lists are peppered with political
thrillers so I’m obviously in the minority.
This
may be considered a bit of spoiler so be warned:
The
book has essentially a cliff hanger ending. Truths are unclear, loyalties are
in flux, and the future balances on the edge of a knife. Needless to say there’s
another book coming…
