cmbohn's review against another edition
3.0
Just what I needed to distract me after sending my daughter off to camp. I really liked the main character, Meren. He had an interesting story. But I have to say that I found it the book a bit confusing at times--too much going on, what with invading Hittites, foreign prices, intrigue at the palace and a separate intrigue at the temple. Too many characters.

A bit complicated and too crammed with court intrigue for my taste, rather than a straightforward mystery. I like the background, but there were a few too many characters in play.
