3.0

before starting to write this review, I had a quick look back to my reviews of the previous two books in this series. And it seems that the upward trend that I spotted between book one and book two is only continued here. Again we have a pathfinder tale centered around ships, pirates, spying and the slave trade. I enjoyed my self immensely while reading this book, and if I would have been able to give half stars this would be a 3.5 star book.

There where two thoughts that popped into my head a few times while reading this. One was: I really like the way the roleplay mechanics are translated to prose. I loved the way the relation between a sorceress and her familiar was described, as well as the descriptions of the spells and spell effects. The second thought was: If someone wants to create a Pathfinder tv show, I think these stories would be perfect for it since they are the exact right mixture of action, sexiness, drama and tension, character interaction, pathfinder world building (or exposure) and RPG feel.

I heard that two more novels are already written, but are waiting to be published. Paizo I would suggest to put them on the schedule because we want more of this.
