Beautifully written and flowing narrative with true intrigue. Plausible within the context of the genre. A coherent series thus far. Keen anticipation for the next one. A genuine cut above the usual facile guns and glory themes found in such stories whilst still feeding ones need for the fantastic. Enjoyed it - hope others do too.

Read this book in one sitting. Could not put it down. Have loved both of the books so far in this series.
