Most of my thoughts on this one are already recorded. Suffice to say it never disappointed me and is definitely a keeper - one to be re-read and cherished down the years.

I was a bit disappointed when I realised that this sequel was focusing on Ista - as she was the least interesting character for me in CoC. However - I was wrong. Just a couple of paragraphs in I was hooked and we were off on another wonderful adventure with plenty of action, romance and humour to keep me amused and my heart in my mouth along the way. You know a book is a keeper when it leaves you with a huge smile on your face and quietly chuckling as you close it on the final page.
I'm eagerly awaiting LMB's The Hallowed Hunt to arrive and will definitely by checking her other Fantasy books. Hope she writes many more in the future, too!

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly. Aramis: Yes, sorry. Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
