I find Keyes a bit footloose with the health of his
characters. He builds a relationship
with his character, gives them personality, and kills them off. I appreciate his storytelling skills but I
get dismayed when a character I have invested in, is gone. The story begins with the end of a war and
the seeds of the next war are sown. It
then fast forwards to a time when things are going well and the seeds start to
bear their deadly fruit.
Treachery seems to be a major theme in this book. There are a wealth of disagreeable characters
who seem to get away with murder. Keyes
has done a terrific job in creating an environment that is fantasy but still
believable. I’m guessing he has had
experience with a teenager as Anne is accurately portrayed.
I really enjoyed the book and am already in the next one in
the series.
