After two action packed books does the author take a breather? Hell no! The action is outside the arena but even more intense (didn't think it possible but it was). This is another long book but it still feels too short as there is no boring bits, unlike most other military fantasy type books which consist of a lot of marching and politics and a few battles this book goes from battle to battle and once again we learn character during the battles -and, damn, what battles they are, you almost feel like you are there.
Loved learning more about Vintia, really almost a bit player in the first two novels although one I always wished to see explored in greater detail. All I will say is she lives up to her early promise. Seeing Sadira outside the arena works well also. I don't want to give any spoilers or even hints that will lessen the enjoyment of this great (yes, great) book. Just read it folks and enjoy

Good expansion on the series
Takes a refreshing look on from the world created in the previous books. Gripped from start to finish and I look forward to reading more that isn't based solely on Gavin and Sadira.
