Another exciting outing for Jame, lots of adventures while she tries to make her way through officer's training school. I made liberal use of the maps and the glossary in back, it's not usually so hard for me to keep up in a book but there are a LOT of characters. And since in Hodgell's world, the landscape occasionally gets up and rearranges itself, I need the maps! But it also seemed to me that Hodgell spent less time flinging her characters into imaginary dreamscapes than she did in the last book. I liked that we spent a lot more time with Jame than Tori, I think she's a better character. Tori is mostly evident trying to run from the matriarchs of the other houses who want him to contract with one of their available women. That whole side of the Kencyrath is a little odd. Lots of crazy people, lots of gods and ghosts. Only a few buildings fall down. Jame does finally seem to be finding her way to figuring out what she's doing.
