==========

How good is this?

I read it in 24-hours, devoting every spare moment to it. It helps that it was a Sunday, when I had more time, but I did ignore normal chores this morning in order to dash to the conclusion.

I admit that I was a bit dismayed to find myself in Ista's company at the beginning of the book. However, her unique past and relationship to the gods yielded a compelling story, especially when coupled with the situation into which she was thrust by war.

I won't say more because part of the pleasure was not knowing anything about the story. If you liked The Curse of Chalion, you'll like this just as much.

Jenn Great book. It is not really a sequel but you get little updates on The Curse's main Characters. I really enjoyed this one too.


Violinknitter Isn’t it amazing? I read it before Curse of Chalion, for some odd reason, and then was mildly disappointed that Ista didn’t have more of a part in Curse. :D

Luckily they tell enough of Ista's story that you know what's going on if you can't remember Curse of Chalion's details (which I couldn't).
