No idea what to expect with this book. I can honestly say it gripped me from the beginning and held me all the way through and loved the characters........highly recommended

from reader Michael C. Vosper

First time of reading this author's books and after doing so, couldn't wait to read the following two books about the same characters. Really looking forward to book number four

A large cast, deftly handled, an absorbing plot with a tumbling, energetic sequence of events, political manoeverings, court intrigue, well drawn baddies and deserving protagonists all go to make up an absorbing read and a pleasurable journey. Can't wait for the next!

This fast paced story is full of surprizes, and had me hooked after the first couple of pages. The are lighter comic comic moments which are very welcome, and should, in my opinion anyway, be included in al books. The prose really does have to power to transport the reader back to those bygone days of yore.It's a shame that the story the story is not fully completed in one volume though, as I can't afford the sequel, but I suppose it's give me something to look forward to.

It was surprising how quickly and completely the author took you to a world where you are reluctant to leave. Looking forward to the next.
