As Book 3 opens, Tamas has sneaked into the capital city, Adopest, ahead of his army which are returning, helped now by allies. He finds that the city is occupied by a Brudanian army led by Lord Claremonte who is seemingly there to fight an election to become Prime Minister. Oddly, he has pulled down the ancient cathedral and every other church in the city, and his men have publicly murdered the priests - but no one objected and it hasn't barred him from possible election. The god Kresimir is currently in suspended animation, thanks to the sorcery of Ka-Poel the "savage" sorceress, but has not disappeared as a possible peril. Inspector Adamat is still trying to track down his kidnapped son and early on discovers his terrible fate, which was foreshadowed. Nila is now being trained by Bo as his apprentice. And Taniel, who escaped his enemies, is hiding in the hills, on the run from soldiers sent by a person he once thought was a friend. This book has to bring to a satisfying conclusion a lot of different plotlines and keep the tension high with more revelations of treachery. On the whole it does so, but I found it clunky that a key character is suddenly introduced late in the book. It would have been far better if this character had been seen much earlier on, especially as there were definitely opportunities given that this was a union leader in the city and quite a bit of the story has revolved around the main union representative, Ricard. Another issue I had with the story is Adamat's short-lived grief over his son's fate. Forced to conceal it from his wife and pretend that the boy is dead, The main plus point of this volume for me, surprisingly, was the development of the teacher-pupil relationship between Bo and Nila. Interestingly and despite what was said in book 1 about the insatiable sexual appetites of the Privileged magicians, Bo does not broach the subject of a relationship despite Nila's obvious attraction to him, and she is disillusioned at one point There is one big white elephant in the story - Despite the various weaknesses mentioned above, the last part of the book is a tour de force as the various battles play out. The ending is slightly predictable, but has a nicely bitter-sweet quality. Overall, I would rate this a solid 3 star read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
