I really didn't like this book. Lots of annoying fantasy tropes, including excessive use of made-up words when English would do just fine, excessive use of random apostrophes in said words, and the usual presumption that "good" races are tall, pale, and willowy, while "bad" races are dark and short. Alien races are inconsistent - even though they are supposed to have non-human motivations, every time the humans really *need* then to react humanly, they do. Plot wasn't especially complex, but the fact that everyone's names were a random combination of A's, R's, and apostrophes made it hard to keep track of who was doing what.
