I had a hard time getting into this book because I really didn't get to liking Aly. She was far too cocky and spoiled compared to the heroine's in the previous series of Tortall books. Also, his story was not as instantly captivating for me as the other series that I've read by Pierce.

My favorite character was Nawat, though, who's flirtations from a crow's-view cracked me up several times.

Overall, it was still a good story because I got an update on previous characters from past series.

Like all teenage girls, Aly, daughter of Alanna and George, is stubborn and fights with her mother. Only this time Aly decides to leave on a short adventure to give her parents time to be alone after their year-long separation. Unfortunately for Aly, she is taken prisoner by pirates and sold into slavery. Aly had been trying to convince her spy father to let her be a spy as well, with no success. Now however, in order to survive captivity, she must use all her skills and maybe finally convince her father that she actually is equipped to be a spy. When the trickster god, Kyprioth appears to Aly with a deal, she grabs it with both hands. Then her adventure really begins.

It's an interesting story but it dragged forever in the middle of the book and I totally lost interest. It was just day-in-the-life stuff that got tedious real quick and never seemed to be getting anywhere. I won't be reading the sequel as I know I would never get through another 400+ pages of this storyline.
