Book #2 in the Glasswright series. Klasky has created an imperfect heroine in her Glasswright's series. Much of the Glasswrights Progress has Rani being forced along a path without her being able to do much about it. She is kidnapped along with Mair to a neighboring kingdom where the caste system is very different from Morenia's, and whose king has devious plans. As usual, its tough to trust anyone's motives, and the reader is often left wondering if Hal and Rani are merely pawns in a greater game or can prove to be more important players. Both of them do some growing up and the lessons are hard. Mini rant: Klasky introduces us to the Little Army, whose tough training I found to not fit that well to the rest of the plot, especially in light of Sin Hazar's plans. I read the explanation but it still bugs me. But maybe I'm just missing something.
