Malta really went from being one of the most insufferable characters I had ever read to being one of my faves.

Even though these books are so long, this is the first one that I felt could have used some cutting down. It was really satisfying to read once Althea, Brashen, and Amber started to get a plan together (400 pages in) but the last 100 pages were a real slog to get through.
