Politics. That sums up this book. And the problem is, as the reader we don't have the prior knowledge or experience that the main characters have, so we are left even more in the dark than they are.

With this second Corean Trilogy, Modesitt seems to delight in making everything as confusing and inscrutable as possible. No one, not even the main characters, can say anything or do anything or take anything at face value. It really detracts from the story when someone stops in the middle of a sentence, and you the reader are left hanging, time and time again.

It is a good story, but it seems to have gotten lost in all the paranoia Modesitt has set this particular story in.
