Ah, the frustration of a sequel. For those who don't know, Freidman has only ever done one sequel, and it shows. Zara's character was completely and utterly superfluous, certain plot elements found in In Conquest Born (such as the Black Death) were deliberately written in for no other reason than her readers seemed to expect them, and the whole book felt like it could have been condensed into a 150-page epilogue-novella. That said, it was kinda nice to find out what happened to Zatar and his line after Anzha "destroyed" him. Quick, fluffy read
