Possibly my favorite book of the series. Sarah was a bit annoying, I don't like that she expects Corin to share everything with her but doesn't share everything with him, I also kind of feel like she blames him for things when it was her decision. Yes it was Corin's actions but he only acted on her permission.

2.0

I loved the first two and got through them in a few days each, then there were 5 other books of semi-required reading before this one that completely killed my enthusiasm and took 6 months to drag myself through. This book felt so unfocused with too many tests that didn't seem to be particularly relevant (I assume they will be somehow) and I could barely remember what the characters were actually meant to be doing, I think I'm done with the series, sadly. Massive let down.

3.0

The earlier parts dragged, but the book picks up dramatically after a certain duel where Rowe's dungeoneering, fights, gambits, and worldbuilding get to shine over the grueling magical technobabble in the first half. Still, Rowe's worldbuilding and the series' overall mystery is enough to keep me interested in reading the next installment. 3 kleptomaniac adventurers out of 5.
