review 1: A breezy read, good if you had read 'The Unwilling Warlord' since the Ambassador came from a kingdom created in the book and, and the happenings in that book set the background to this one. Not to worry if you're new to the Ethshar series, much of the background is explained well in the book. An Ambassador from the Kingdom of Vond comes to Ethshar, seeking to stop Warlocks (a class of magic users in the Ethshar universe) from going to Vond to create more havoc. He is followed by representatives of other rival kingdoms suspicious of his motives and who try to assassinate him. I'd recommend this for a lazy weekend read.
review 2: Follow-up (if not exactly a sequel) to The Unwilling Warlord. The main character is Emmis, dockworker in Ethshar who is hired by the Vo... morendish Ambassador to be his guide to the city. As well as help accomplish his secret mission, which proves to be trickier than expected.Very good read for existing fans of Ethshar, newcomers might be a little confused and miss references to past novels. More of a classic Ethshar novel which follows only one character (as opposed to say, the Spell of the Black Dagger) and is a more personal story than epic or world changing. less
