\"\"<\/a>The sequel to The Queen of Attolia<\/em> and The Thief<\/em>, we see Gen this time from the outside–from the view of a guard who doesn’t like–but yet must work with–Gen.<\/p>\n

As with previous books, there is a great deal of intrigue, and we’re a step removed from it, seeing only what a guard would see. We also see Gen from the eyes of someone who doesn’t know him, like him, or respect him.<\/p>\n

The result is lovely. And fabulous. And wonderful.<\/p>\n

If you have not read The Thief<\/em>, you must start there. <\/p>\n

Immediately.
