Adored this. Loved revisiting the characters and did a quick re read of the General and the Horse Lord before I read this new one. I did think around 3/4 through there could have been a bit of judicious editing, it got a little drawn out but what a ride.
A great author, well worth reading and I do hope we have more in this series with a few of the new characters introduced. One of my favourite series of the year.
