I really enjoyed the perspective of Kamet, the slave of the Mede ambassador Nahuseresh. Believing Nahuseresh murdered, and very confident he will be killed as a routine part of the murder investigation, Kamet runs away and meets up with an Attolian guard and forms an alliance. This is a great friendship story, and a great story about Kamet daring to want things for himself.
