My interest is beginning to wane. I liked being with the Bridgeburners, Tattersail, Paran, etc. I couldn't give a fig about Kruppe or Crokus or whatever is happening in Drukikistisan, or whatever it's called.

A few notes. I dislike many of the awkward sentences Erickson makes. Such as:
"Many had been the suitors, many the gifts of gems and baubles that now resided in the young maiden's bedroom."
"His gaze on the dozing house guard in the garden below, the mind of Crokus Younghand picked its way carefully through speculations of what was to come."
And, while the book had an explosive start, it's starting to dawdle.

I'm surprised by how much this book has gripped me. I haven't been this invested in a book, let alone a fantasy book, in years.
