Helpful Score: 1

First let me say, I thoroughly enjoyed the first 4 books. However, this one is not like the preceding books. It is mostly war and descriptions of violent behaviors. The relationship between Vigholf and Rhona is less than 10% of the book, and poorly fleshed out. If one has not read the preceding books then this book will be extremely confusing. Even though I read the first 4 books, one gets lost with all the characters, and the book offers little to enhance understanding of the previous characters. The humor is very minimal in this book, compared the first four. So for those who love to read war books, this one is for you. Based on my enjoyment of the first four books, I plan to read the next installment. But if Aiken continues writing as in book five, then I plan to cease reading the series.
