review 1: This is a great story. The plot moves quickly and there's subtle, clever developments that blossom to a truly powerful ending. The characters have matured, with honest flaws and believable motivations. And the magic system is more nuanced and shapes the story more significantly. And the way all of this is written is with tighter language--few cliches and hardly any wasted paragraphs. This story shows that the author has really matured with each additional book release. I can't wait for the final book of the series. And since it's already out I don't actually have to wait. :)
review 2: This series just keeps getting better. Flew threw this book in 3 hours (I read rather voraciously). I really like the way the author treats his version of magic, and the rules for... more his universe. Since it is so different than what most people read for standard sci-fi, the rules make me think and always seem to surprise me. I like the characters and I think I like the bad characters as well, mostly because they aren't fitting into predetermined molds of what I expect. I wish there was more "other species" background and development, which in this book seems to start happening. Watching some of the central characters personalities and interactions change and grow has been fun. The pace of the book seemed to race at parts, then become stagnant almost in places. But overall the flow of the book kept moving forward. Overall a nice read, and a great addition to this series. less
