“4.5 / 5 -- A very thrilling second book. The POVs were a lot more balanced, even though it took a bit to start caring about Longchamp's POV, it quickly became equal to the others in importance to me. Sometimes however the descriptive style of action scenes or places frustrated me as I just wanted to know what would happen next, so I'd skip whole paragraphs - which is rare for me. Stakes were high from the start in this book so I didn't have the same problem with the first book where I missed more investment/emotion. Would definitely recommend.”

About Ian Tregillis
Ian Tregillis is the son of a bearded mountebank and a discredited tarot card reader. He was born and raised in Minnesota, where his parents had landed after fleeing the wrath of a Flemish prince. (The full story, he's told, involves a Dutch tramp steamer and a stolen horse.) Nowadays he lives in New Mexico, where he consorts with writers, scientists and other unsavoury types.
