Smedman does it again! The plot here continues to follow our psion/rogue hero Arvin as he travels further in the realms, meets a new love interest, and gets significantly more powerful. There's more intrigue and suspicion here, and interesting plot twists that never seemed telegraphed to me. I liked the way Smedman follows all the rules of how things work in D&D and yet there's lots of success via being smart as well. Her new characters for this book are interesting and worth knowing more about as well.

A wonderful middle book to the House of Serpents trilogy.
