"If I'm pissing blue honey, you can wear the blazing hat!" - Asti Rynax
Possibly the best quote I have ever read in a book. That whole scene had me laughing.
My favourite of the Maradaine Saga so far. Really liked the characters of Asti and Verci, and by the time I was nearing the end I was seriously rooting for them. Hope they get a bit of a break for a while before moving onto the next one!
There is a continuing trend of my liking the books more as I move through the series, which isn't often the case, so I am optimistic for what is to come.
Graphic: Violence and Classism

Great addition to the world of Maradine. The side of the city we get to see here, is somewhat similar to what we saw in Thorn of Dentonhill, altough much farther in detail, when it comes to the streets.
Definitly more main characters than the first 2 books, yet Maresca managed to give the majority of them quite good depth and one can see some intanglement between the series' coming.
Especially at the end there where a few really good, and somewhat expected twist. (The kind you think you see coming, but then are surprised, they actually happen.)
