jashanac's review against another edition

I mean, I got 73%... I could have finished. I just didn't want to. 

At this point I was more or less just on this ride with these characters for the fact that I've read the previous two books. But really, I was getting pretty tired of Phedre's martyrdom and all this damn traveling to and fro and back and fro again... and some of the cultural stereotypes were... not super great.

if you got this far you're going to like this one. in the middle it seems like there are going to be two disparate halves... there are, but Carey makes it work
