Great, well-rounded characters? Magic running rampant? A lost princess? Yes, this book has it all.

I have to admit, at first I was a little annoyed by how many "main" characters there are in this book. For probably the first quarter of the book I kept getting mixed up as to who had done what. Although, to be perfectly honest, this was only because it's been a while since I've read anything that follows more than about 3 characters. Yes, the blurb only names 3, but there are many more key players.


The political currents this book includes could have been very over-done. Instead, they balanced the line perfectly. And, unlike many political currents, these weren't boring!


It can be very hard to create so many characters and have them maintain their individuality. Mr. Drakich makes it look easy.


If you are a fantasy lover, this is a must read!
