This book had a group of characters that it stuck with as the chapters went along, allowing me to get to know them and they to know each other. In the end, I liked them all and they liked each other. In the beginning, they did not. The king's special guard's, in particular, did not like or trust the main character who was Senneth. She is a sorceress who has been sent by the King to assess the level of discord in his Kingdom. As they travel through the kingdom they have some adventures both good and bad. In addition to their diverse little troop, they pick up a young giant cat that had been terrorizing a town and it travels with them under Senneth's control. It never really becomes tame, but at one point it saves one of the guards. Thoroughly enjoyable read - very good story and very good characters.
