Mediocre.  I don't really agree with all the other reviews and credit this as a masterpiece.  It's sufficient to pass the time but I would not call it suspenseful or complex at any point- except the wait for Cleve to return to the action.  On a positive note, the characters are well defined (and they should be by the 4th book in a series), and BT should get credit for an attempt at creating new races outside the usual (elves, orcs, mages).
