I liked this one a little less because the Big Bad(s) seemed ridiculously obvious to me. Also, the rest of the band wasn't in it as much and that lessened my enjoyment as well. Moving on to Thunderfire now, but, again, I have great difficulty taking Ellora's Cave's $9 price for this story seriously. I could see $7.99, maybe, because it's pretty well-edited and has to be as long as a traditional mass market, but $9 is just ridiculous. Take advantage of the ARE rebate while you can!
