Jessica has built a complex, dynamic world with Sciath. While there are multiple characters, each is unique and three-dimensional. You will not confuse them with each other. The plot begins to move and fits within its continuity without getting derailed. It is a wonderful story which makes the reader eagerly anticipate Sceal.
