I really enjoyed the change of pace in this book. In the past Toby almost welcomed a fight or three. But here, Ambassador Sir October Daye is in enemy territory to negotiate a way to avoid a war between kingdoms. Not to mention that aggression on her part would violate the rules of hospitality, get her killed (at best) and probably destroy the new and improved Kingdom of the Mists she worked so hard to establish.

Just THAT situation is enough to carry the book. But there's more of interesting things happening with May, Walther, and her pet rose goblin .. for starters.

Not as much action as muchas she is trying to AVOID a fight. So some readers are disappointed. But this is a "fish out of water and into a boiling pot" kind of story. Not to mention we learn even more about the ripples from the Great San Francisco earthquake.

Not five stars from me. But I tend to be extremely stingy with that ranking.
