As in her other series, Mercedes Lackey has created compelling characters in an richly detailed "other world" society. While predictable, the story is also satisfying, and it raises some deep questions about the nature of leadership, the role of the army, and the causes of war. Book II moves the reader from Tia to Alta,which is losing the war between them due to the superiority of the Tian dragon jousters. Vetch intervenes to create a new kind of jouster corps with very different ideas of war and peace.
