4.0

A wonderful return to the Old Kingdom and an intriguing expansion on the previously seen world. There is plenty to enjoy about this book. It is pacy and exciting and you are rooting for the characters all the way through. My one complaint is that Nix persists in setting up romance between characters who have just met. It is not believable and they often feel more like friends, or even strangers.
