A review by wmhenrymorris
Antiphon by Ken Scholes

This novel sure rocks for the third (of five) in a series -- it is very, very satisfying and yet still tantalizes with the promise of more. Much more. You also get to like the characters more (at least I did) even as they begin to show cracks and wear and hidden powers and weaknesses. What's more it soon becomes clear that there are additional layers to the conspiracy that set the series off (with the unexpected destruction of the city Windwir) and additional players to consider. But above all, it's the writing -- crisp, elegant, richly featured -- that makes this series stand out. The novels just keep getting better. Let's hope that trend lasts, although all signs point to the strong possibility that it will.
