Another good read. I liked the first book in this trilogy (eagerly awaiting the third), and I think I liked this one at least as much. Even though this book was mostly back-story for the first, the job is well done. The book was enjoyable to read. I will say that I read any book quite critically. I read between the lines while looking for subtle hints of disguised intent or bias. I'm pleased to find that her stories are well told, straightforward entertainment.
