    <body><![CDATA[I found this an enjoyable read, particularly the first two-thirds, which are driven primarily by the tension of the premise: spies in the court of an enemy kingdom, who meet anonymously and thus don't recognize one another when they meet in public, struggling to fulfill their mission before a cruel spycatcher finds them out. I found the last third of the book was somewhat less satisfying as it seemed to rely more on the interpersonal angst of the main characters to provide tension. For me, this worked best as a thrilling spy adventure. I found the prose very readable and it drew me deep into the world right away. I would be interested to read more by this author!<br/><br/>Note: This is an adult novel, and contains plenty of adult content.]]></body>
