    This book isn't quite as strong as the first one, but it's still a solid story. The survivors of the Mage Wars are trying to build a life for themselves in the aftermath of the cataclysm, only to discover that their very existence depends on the whim of a foreign ruler.
    The company travels to the distant court to legitimize their claims on the land they now call their own and find themselves tangled up in strange foreign politics.
    There are conspiracies, plots and lies, and our great heroes must find ways to overcome it all.

    A good story, but somewhat bogged down in the middle by overwrought plot devices. Still a great read, though!

    It's good, but not as tight and well put together as BG.

    While still an interesting Mercedes Lackey book I found it to be very predictable once we knew who all the main players were. It took me a while to get through the book just because it felt so obvious what was going to happen that it didn't keep my attention.

    I've enjoyed reading all the books connected to Valdemar. To get a complete picture of that world, you need to read all the books.
