The intermittent sense of foreboding is offset by a healthy dose of old-fashioned adventure-kidnappings, a noble thief, near drowning, divine visitations, ghosts, a visit to an upscale brothel, and some very bad knife throwing-that provides a satisfying temporary conclusion despite this being very much a middle novel with serious nastiness still looming - LOCUSBritain keeps the excitement high from beginning to end, balancing epic magical battles with the humor and camaraderie of Karigan and her fellow riders - Publishers WeeklyKristen Britain lives in Maine where she writes full time and pursues interests including reading, guitar playing, and illustration.
