This book really was full of surprises, and the ending was really clever. Turner's way of writing was really interesting. Gen's character was also great, deeper than you'd expect. Over all, I liked the story a lot.

One of my very favorite series. Gen is a delightful character and while this book starts off a bit slow, the ending is well worth it.

Characters who are not always what they seem, richly detailed settings and an intricate plot that makes you want to go right back to the beginning and read the book all over again - best novel I've read in a long while!

This is a fantastic series, that gets better and better with each book. However, it is important to begin with book one The Thief.

Every time he laughed, I spat insults at him. It was not politic, but as always, I couldn't keep an insult in when it wanted to come out.

Guns weren't as accurate as crossbows, but they were less awkward to transport, and to have one would have been a comfort.

His eyes narrowed, and the hair on the back of my neck started to rise. I've seen envy before, and I know the damage it can do.

Saying things I shouldn't has been the origin of most of the painful episodes in my past, and it would certainly be an improvement in my character if I had a little more control over my own tongue.

I am a master of foolhardy plans, I thought. I have so much practice I consider them professional risks.
