Having already read the Arrows of the Queen books, I pretty much knew where this story was going. It focuses on the older characters from Arrows and their time as heralds, especially Alberich as well as a fair amount of Selaney. Others like Talamir and Jadus put in a fair amount of time too. While I already knew basically where the plot was going, it was still enjoyable to see these characters fleshed out. Whereas they were more minor and background in Arrows, they become real people here. Also interesting to see more about Karse through Alberich.

The first book of Lackey's I've read, it was a joy to stumble through the world of Valdemar alongside Alberich.
