5.0 stars. This is an incredible book and part two of an incredible series. Guy Gavriel Kay is one of the best writers working in any genre and his writing is both technically superb and deeply emotional. This series should definitely be on the "must read" list of any fan of epic fantasy.

Highly recommended!! ...more

While still a bit slowly paced. this second book in the trilogy did have quite a bit going on and moved the story forward quite nicely. Listened to the audio version which was professionally read by Simon Vance.
