This is the second disappointment of the series.
In Order 66 Etain died stupidly. After proving herself intelligent and noble, she practically commits suicide. I have no problem with a character dying if it is "in character", but it was not.
In this book the main problem is Darman. One must understand he has no basis for dealing with the loss of Etain, but even so he is extremely volatile and irrational, which is not at all like Darman. He decides not to desert because he thinks he can do more good in the Imperial Army then in the last segment, suddenly changes his mind.
Many of the plot scenarios are left unresolved. What happens with Uthan, Ny & Skirata, Scout, Altis, Darman, Niner? This felt very slapped together. I certainly hope there is another novel on the way to rectify the last two.
