I actually read this "dualogy" after reading the first of the series that follows (Prodigal Mage). So, I knew part of the story, from a different perspective.

As a series, it was a little unsatisfying. As an explanation of the events that you hear about in Prodigal Mage, however, you get a real feel for the characters earlier in their lives. Overall I liked it, I just wish the ending was not quite so abrupt. I could have used another few chapters (somehow) that dealt with the aftermath of the climax; I would have gladly traded some of the narrative from the front of the books, as parts seemed to drag a bit.

I love the characters that Miller has created, and I like that she doesn't just kill the bad guys, let the good guys live. They seem like they have real lives, and are not just 1- or 2-dimensional.
