      I thought the Soprano Sorceress was pretty decent, but this second book of the series was a bit of a step backwards. Frequently when reading Modessit (both the Recluce series and this) I have felt that he typically creates interesting worlds, but can't come up with a fresh plot lines. The protaganists may change, and the villains may change, and the geopolitical situation may change, but essentially it's like reading the same story over and over again. By the end of this second book my interest level had dropped to the point that I have never bothered to pick up book 3.
