Good fantasy books. jh Send a noteboard - 23/09/2010 08:23:55 PM
Not anything exceptional, but nice stable fantasy which does not disappoint.

But... have you read coldfire? It was better. While this story might be better written, and slightly more coherent, it has not the power that coldfire had, nor the viciousness it could show at times. That story packed a punch, this one is more... "oh, she's killing someone? that's nice."
