This book was my favorite in the trilogy, though not by much over 'The Magician's Guild.' The various characters from the prequels - magicians and thieves alike - all have a storyline, which we read from their points of view. The action is ongoing, with some elementary plot twists to add to the suspense.
Though her writing is nothing remarkable (not bad, just not great), Canavan is a good storyteller if you overlook the occasional redundancy and incongruity. I've gotten hooked on her novels because they're easy, quick reads, which is what I've been in the mood for lately. I think of them as one step up from a guilty pleasure.
