(((((((((((((((((SPOILERS))))))))))))
I liked this story more than most because Lythlet's character was intriguing. The Arena, beasts, coalition, politics, religious aspects. 
The biggest problems with the book: Desil, Ilden and Shunvi are legendary fighters, but Dothilos didn't know that they met on a regular basis? Seavum gives Lythlet the  bestiary encyclopedia and Dothilos never wonders how she has this instant knowledge about defeating monsters?
