Harristan has his own problems back in Kandala though. The story also moves to sea, on Rian’s ship heading to Ostriary which for me was so much fun. I love the way Rian questioned how Kandala’s people were being treated, making Corrick and Tessa do some inner reflection on a few things. Can they trust this Rian who claims to have enough Moonflower to trade with them for Kandala steel. + With the new characters come a new set of problems and political intrigue/suspicions for Harristan and Corrick. I was like, move aside Corrick…Rian is confident, he is a leader, and patient, which I love.

+ The story picks up right after events in book one but I love that we have new characters, and one very intriguing Captain Blackmore/Rian.

It doesn’t matter because I think there was enough new elements to make this feel like the story was moving – I was hooked!

The writing is tight and flows well, it moves quickly even though parts of the book feel more like a filler. + I didn’t mean to finish this book in one night, but I did. I have to say this series is addictive! I loved book one and getting to know Corrick and Tessa – there was so much political intrigue in that one.
