Re-read this as I'm haphazardly going through the series in random order. Good, but the writing style is weighty and definitely different than the later books.

A delicious dumpster fire. This collection of angry wet cats absolutely fascinates me. The characters are all a joy to see here, and I'm excited to see where this goes!

I really like Richard Baker. Of all the authors currently in the WOTC Stable he may be my absolute favorite.
This is a great book--it moves the War forward with some epic battles, some great investigation by our main party, introduces some new characters, and does all the things that you need for a book in the middle of the series to do. The sorcery stuff in this is awesome, as are the big battles; but, what I really liked was the travel sections--there is a lot of bouncing around and interesting architectural detail.
A very fun read. Thanks, David S.
