3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable tale that leaves you waiting impatiently for more, 14 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This was a great first novel. Groell has an amazingly rich storyline and her dertailed descriptions of Ashkharon just paint a vivid picture. The only real weaknesses in this book were the characters. Thibault seemed a little to worshipfull of Jenifleur. While The Hound and The Falcon seemed at times like a bunch of bumbling idiots instead of the highly trained and experienced assassins they were supposed to be. Other than that this book was neato. Hopefully those characterization flaws will be cleaned up in the next book. I know I'm looking forward to it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, buy it used if at all, 15 Sep 1998
By A Customer
I would give this book a pass had I to do it over again. The characters are more annoying than anything and so inconsistent its pathetic. Come on, the GREATEST assassin in the world (we are told over and over) is trapped that easily? Give me a break!! Also, the 20th century technology imported into the setting via "the mages": electricity, alarm systems, etc. as well as oil discovered in the desert is a very lame plot device and rather unoriginal if you ask me. All in all I was very disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good plot, weak characterization and dialogue, 8 Jul 1998
By A Customer
What a facinating contradiction this book is. The plot is amazing and original. Ms. Groell has used magecraft to simulate modern technology in a totally unique and refreshing way. And yet... her characterizations are quite weak and her dialogue is so inconsistent with her medieval fantasy setting that I found it jarring. Despite the flaws, which were serious, I think this is an excellent first effort.
