review 1: Haven't actually read this but just wanted an excuse to write how excited I am to read this next novel in the series. Easily my favourite series of the last ten years (along with First Law trilogy). Can't wait. Oh and my arrow tattoo featuring piercing ward design is finally unde...

review 1: This book is undeniably written very well. The entire series is quite good too. Probably the best thing about this book, which is also a testament to the author's skill, is that he was able to take characters and even the entire notion of the Krasian culture, make me hate them, ...

review 1: This is a brilliant read what a great series of books. It captures all the best there is in Science Fiction Fantasy and adds a parallel to today's religious divides and political differences. What a masterful piece of writing with the 3rd book leaving you hang, literally. When I ...

review 1: Two story lines running in unison, both very compelling. Arlen is learning to use his abilities that are available after the last fight with the mind demon. Jadir is learning to use the tools he has to defend his city. Things are Definitely coming to a head and the book ended wit...
